Different Colors and Things You Can Do To Vinyl

Glitters and Gold Dust
Adding sparkle and shine is easy, and you can even use different colors to create unique patterns and shapes that’ll leave a lasting impression.

Tapes
Tapes give your vinyl records an even more unique look. Experimenting with various tape colors and patterns can give your vinyl record an incomparable appearance that stands out from the crowd.

Blood
Though it may seem like an odd choice, blood is actually a great way to add visual flair to your custom vinyl record. You can use a special dye, resulting in a unique and unexpected design that will certainly turn heads.

Etched Images
Adding images to your vinyl record is an easy way to create a one of a kind look. Etching is the process of permanently adding an image or design onto the record’s surface. This method can be used to add pictures, logos, or any other type of design you’d like.

Leaves
Adding dried leaves to your custom vinyl record is a great way of adding some organic touches to your design. This is an easy way to create unique visuals that are sure to stand out. Leaves can also be painted in different colors or with various patterns before placing them into the vinyl.

Dried Flowers
For a more unique touch, you can also include dried flowers! However, be aware that their colors may change when placed in a vinyl record or be affected by the heat of the pressing machine. If you’re looking for something more colorful, you can opt to use artificial flowers.

By the end of the 19th century the syncopated rhythms of ragtime and the improvisational nature of jazz had arrived. Hard times in the great depression of the 1930s drove many swing jazz big bands out of business. Jump blues filled the gap. Patrons of dance halls needed small groups who could match the volume and atmosphere of the departed big bands. Singers would shout and saxophonists would honk. This gave performers names like shouters and honkers. Jump blues was an uptempo jazz tinged style of blues. Usually characterised by a vocalist in front of a large horn driven orchestra or medium sized combo with multiple horns. The style had a driving rhythm, intensely shouted vocal and honking tenor saxophone solos. There was also less reliance on the guitar as a lead instrument. It also had a hard, rhythmic drive and...

Copyrights and Public Domain

Copyrighting and Public Domain Music A song is the combination of melody and words. Each is protected by copyright, the melody as a musical work and the lyrics as a literary work. One or the other could be used separately and still be protected.

Most people recognize the term public domain in reference to published works, including sheet music or musical recordings, which once were protected by copyright, but the copyright expired several decades after the artist’s death or a considerable length of time after the work’s creation. Once copyright expires on a work like a recorded song, you can use it for any purpose without paying the publisher, the artist, or another institution. The Two Types of Copyright ...
