Soundbreaking - 8 part PBS series on the art of recording music
http://soundbreaking.com/about-the-series/
Music has been a constant in human history, an intermingling of voice and instrument that for all its local variation and increasing sophistication nevertheless endured in more or less the same form for centuries. Then came recording––and music was forever transformed. Soundbreaking, an eight-part event television series, traces this ongoing sonic revolution, and explores the nexus of cutting-edge technology and human artistry that has created the soundtrack of our lives.
Featuring more than 160 original interviews with some of the most celebrated recording artists, producers, and music industry pioneers of all time, Soundbreaking charts a century’s worth of innovation and experimentation, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of brand new sounds. From the Beatles’ groundbreaking use of multi-track technology to the synthesized stylings of Stevie Wonder, from disco-era drum machines to the modern art of sampling, the series highlights the dynamic tension between the artificial and the natural––between the man-made and the god-given––and explores the way in which that tension has continuously redefined not only what we listen to and how we listen to it, but our very sense of what music is and can be. In the end, Soundbreaking makes us hear the songs we love in a whole new way, and illuminates the sonic alchemy by which the music we listen to becomes a fundamental part of who we are.
The first episode, The Art of Recording," includes interviews with Ringo Starr, George Martin, Brian Eno, Giles Martin, Rick Rubin, Tony Visconti, Dr. Dre, Questlove, Jimmy Iovine, RZA, Q Tip, Dr. Luke, Rosanne Cash, Tom Petty

caught a couple of episodes this week by accident... it was pretty good!
Gah. I wish I had been involved in this. Enjoy it before the "liberal PBS" loses its funding.
Cool was about to post and you beat me to it, definitely going to start watching this over the weekend
These were shown earlier in the year in the UK - I thought the first one was best, the rest could be a bit patchy, some good and interesting parts but some of it not so good.
Thanks for the link. I'm a sucker for this sort of stuff. Lots of good stuff on that song list but it misses so many interesting, creative, envelope pushing recordings. Not just "obscure" stuff like My Bloody Valentine or the entirety of the lo-fi movement but very popular things like the beach boys, talking heads, queen, 10cc (not in love in particular) that I think the general public would find very compelling. All hip hop short of Brass Monkey is based on Dr. Dre's work? And really, Brass Monkey instead of Paul's Boutique? C'mon.
I should really watch it before I bitch about it, eh? Too late.
I can sense this is not a new line of concern for you Professor. I do think we might have the perfect place for you if'n you find you need it....
I think the series as a whole can be guilty of picking a single group, or even track, and claiming that was the start of an entire movement in music, when in fact there were lots of people doing something similar, or ignoring the contribution of an important earlier band.

Watched the first 3 episodes. Great stuff. Even with a background in music production I learned a lot about old school techniques. And it's great to hear about how the techniques were used to produce specific songs.
