Indeed, despite their extreme stylistic variety, The Beatles? songs seem to always bear a distinctive identity that emerges even more in similar works by other artists, whether they are merely inspired, derivative or explicitly paying homage. The authors, a musicologist and music producer, emphasize the importance of record production in The Beatles' music in a way that does justice not only to the final artifacts (the released songs) but also to the creative process itself (i.e., the songs "in the making"). Through an investigation into the work of George Martin and his team, as well as The Beatles themselves, this text sheds light on the role of the studio in shaping the group's eclectic but unique sound. The chapters address what makes a song ?Beatlesque?, to what extent production choices are responsible for developing a style, production being understood not as a mere set of technicalities, but also in a more conceptual way, as well as the aesthetics, semiotics and philosophy that animated studio activity. The outcome is a book that will appeal to both students and researchers, as well as, of course, musicophiles of all kinds. 606 $aPopular music 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aAcoustical engineering 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aPopular Music 606 $aAudio-Visual Culture 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aEngineering Acoustics 606 $aAesthetics 615 0$aPopular music. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aAcoustical engineering. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 14$aPopular Music. 615 24$aAudio-Visual Culture. 615 24$aSemiotics. 615 24$aEngineering Acoustics. 615 24$aAesthetics. 676 $a782.421660922 676 $a782.421660922 700 $aMartinelli$b Dario$0886728 701 $aBucciarelli$b Paolo$01380469 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736003403321 996 $aThe Beatles and the Beatlesque: A Crossdisciplinary Analysis of Sound Production and Stylistic Impact$93566812 997 $aUNINA
