“ It was an influence that the Beatles’ producer George Martin was all too conscious of, as Giles Martin - the son of the Beatles’ producer, George Martin - remarked to this writer in an interview around an Atmos reissue of Pet Sounds, “I was with my dad on a plane once, and I just suddenly realised how awesome he was. I said to him ‘Dad, what you did with the Beatles was kind of amazing, wasn’t it’ and he looked at me and said, ‘not as amazing as Brian Wilson.’”

A Brian Wilson Reflection
ReplyDelete“He had so many gifts. One of them was mutual empowerment. He brought out the best in everyone around him. In the studio, under great tensile strength, the things he could do with a piano, bass, and maybe a couple of guitars were like him entering a dark room and breathing light and life into it. He was a celebratory spirit with a dark coda on his life: the burden of some psychosis. I don’t believe that was caused by drugs. I think it was in his genes, but he had the ability to dig deep. He had a disciplined spiritual force and had sat on church pews and had learned musical lingos, had loved and absorbed everything from barbershop quartets to calypso to composers to Gershwin, was growing up when they coined the expression “Americana” and configured all this into a new kind of pop.”
“He moved mountains. He changed the language. He treated me kindly when he didn’t need to and when people say his music is astonishing, I agree.” Van Dyke Parks on Brian Wilson
