Technics in the Sounds of the Beach Boy

In the past, a good sound for me just means that the vocals and lyrics can make me figure out the story expressed by the singer. I was seldom to regard the environment of the sound, which composed by many other different sound tracks. But after the class in Tuesday and the comparing the difference between the solo sound and the multi-tracks sound after class, I began to be interested in the creation of the environment of a sound. It seems like those different tracks can make the sound from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

My favorite in these all is The Beach Boys.

In My Room: 4 tracks; 1 kick, 2 vocals, 1 guitar. The melody in this sound is relatively smooth, so all the background music is usually a kind of loop. They change little, so that the perfect sound of the singer can be emphasized perfectly.

Good Vibrations: I like this sound most. I suppose that it should have 9 tracks; 1 drum, 1 tambourine, 3 vocals, 1 guitar, 1 flute and I cannot name the rest two instruments. I like the bel canto in the background so much! If I was the designer, I would dare not to put such kind of sound to match this pop music. But this bel canto really create a kind of space feeling which makes all those other sounds stayed in it comfortable.
