Responses to Phil Spencer, Brian Wilson and George Martin

Phil Spector’, Wall of sound: It was also known as Spector Sound. Phil Spector created the music production technique in the 1960’s, it was a room full of instruments and a reverberation effect. What I find interesting is that in one part of the video they talked about how as this guy was outside of the room the instruments were off key and it just sounded terrible, but as Phil Spector told him to listen to what he got, it turned out to be a hit and that to me was just astounding because with what he did with a couple of wires and in the booth he turned an offbeat track into magic. It’s honestly pretty amazing how he took a bunch of instruments in one room and create a song out of it.

Brian Wilson, Pet Sounds: Everything in the Pet Sounds album was written, produced and arranged by Brian Wilson. Not going to lie the first song he played I knew right off the back I just never knew the name of the song, it was just something I’ve heard before in some movies. It’s interesting to see he almost uses the same instruments for each song he performs but they’re all tuned differently and in some songs, some instruments may play and in other times, it wouldn’t. I like the tone of his voice it works really well with Avant-pop, this type of music genre.


George Martin, The Beatles: The Beatles music is very soothing and calm to the ears. George Martin signed them up even when he knew they had no background experience and the way they performed was nothing he’s ever heard before so it gave him an opportunity to see where things can continue to go.
