SOUNDBREAKING: STORIES FROM THE CUTTING EDGE OF RECORDED MUSIC
PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET
Part 2 of 5. Tonight’s installment is devoted to the development of multitrack recording – and it’s here, among other places, that producer George Martin made such an impact with the recordings of the Beatles. Piecing together “Strawberry Fields Together” from not only different takes, but different speeds? That was but one trick among hundreds – and a lot of them will be discussed, and demonstrated, tonight. For a full TV review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.
