You all know me to be a rock & roller of long standing.
Part of the obsession for me has been to try and learn as much of the trivia, as much of the back story, as I can.
Thus I love such documentaries as “Soundbreaking,” showing currently in 8 episodes on PBS.
It’s also available, at least for a short time, at pbs.org.
It focuses on the recording aspects of the creation of music. How the studio process is a craft unto itself. It covers the history from the creation of the electric microphone through the Beatles and George Martin’s groundbreaking albums to the current day when incredible music is being recorded on computers in living rooms.
