Soundbreaking

Aired on Detroit Public Television 11/14-11/18, 2016

A new 8-part series, the last project produced by legendary music producer Sir George Martin, offers an amazing look into the art of music recording. From the invention of the microphone to the Moog synthesizer, from the phonograph to digital streaming, the series moves between past and present to tell the stories behind the sounds, and reveals how innovation redefined not only what we listen to and how we listen to it, but our very sense of what music is and can be. Fast-paced and music-driven, viewers of all ages will hear the songs they love in a whole new way. The series features over 150 original interviews, including: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey, Linda Perry, Barry Gibb, Elton John, Debbie Harry, Quincy Jones, Detroit’s Don Was, and many other musical luminaries.
