For years, I’ve been fascinated with the eclecticism of the discography of The Beatles. For a band that is as as globally popular as they are, it’s quite shocking to me that so many are unaware of their more experimental tracks. I remember the first time I heard ‘Revolution 9’ with a bewildered expression as I processed that this was the same band that created ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘Here Comes The Sun’.
I truly admire the band for having no fear to hold back in their experimental exploration, especially at the pinnacle of their success. Implementing such unusual aspects, that were completely unheard of at the time in popular music, really solidifies to me that they were indeed one of the greatest groups of musicians.
I do see myself as much more of a traditional music lover, but bands like The Beatles that unapologetically embarked on a journey into a wider landscape of sound truly inspires me to do the same. I feel that this piece I am creating is potentially the first step of a journey into producing experimental sound.
