Document Summary

Surf music; ideal teenage world of summer fun. Brian wilson helped produce idea/aesthetic of studio as an instrument. First to cut records and tape pieces together, tape splicing. Helped raise pop music to the level of high art. Reaching inside open piano and directly plucking strings. Unusual instruments like finger cymbals, coke cans, water jugs. After first few records, shifted from craft to true art. Innovative and placed emphasis on experimenting and creating new art and ideas vs formulaic approach. Helped pioneer idea of studio as an instrument in itself. Among the first artists to use tape looping and mix electronically and acoustically produced songs. Inspired bob dylan to pick up a guitar. Reason why people begin to see rock and roll as a serious genre. Made people view the entire album as art rather than the single. Shifted idea that album was sonic recording of live music to emphasis on studio art.
