Linzi Stoppard’s band mate Ben Lee from the epic violin duo FUSE becomes the world’s fastest superhuman.
Judges on the discovery channel documentary unanimously voted Ben as the winner for performing
Flight of the Bumblebee at an average of 15 notes per second.
“The world’s Fastest Superhuman isn’t Usain Bolt, it’s violinist Ben Lee”
“The first man to break the magic-minute barrier…the 4-minute mile in the violin world”
The world’s fastest violin player, Ben Lee surpasses his own record time to be announced “Ultimate Superhuman for Speed” on The Discovery Channel’s top rating show, “Superhuman Showdown”.
Professor Whyte said: “Through dedicated and long term practice, Ben is able to devote larger portions of his brain to a task. Ben bows with his right hand, which means that his left cortex should utilised more than his right. However, with the focus and control he uses with his left hand, Ben has developed a greater proportion of his right cortex, giving him powerful dexterity and the ability to play at 810 notes per minute.”
It is because of this that Ben has become the first person to break the ‘Magic Minute’ barrier which most professionals said could not be done. His record for playing Flight of the Bumblebee note perfect on the electric violin is 58.05 seconds
