Title: Pet Sounds As A Gateway To The Work of Arthur Lyman Post by: leftybass77 on July 22, 2014, 09:19:31 AM Anyone get into Arthur Lyman's compositions via Pet Sounds?
It was amazing when I stumbled upon the connection. Title: Re: Pet Sounds As A Gateway To The Work of Arthur Lyman Post by: rab2591 on July 22, 2014, 09:41:12 AM Definitely.
Here is a great thread on the influence that Martin Denny had on Pet Sounds: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,8605.0.html (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,8605.0.html) After I read that thread I started getting into a lot of exotica music. If Brian did get any influence from Lyman, it definitely showed up in Smile (Love To Say Dada, Holidays especially*). *very loose influence, but Brian sure did seem to love that marimba/xylophone-esque sound Title: Re: Pet Sounds As A Gateway To The Work of Arthur Lyman Post by: leftybass77 on July 22, 2014, 10:08:07 AM Yeah, I def. also hear it on Pet Sounds. Definitely the percussion as well. Let's Go Away For A While is a good example of the marimba/xylophone stylings.
