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.

Definitely.

Here is a great thread on the influence that Martin Denny had on Pet Sounds:

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

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.

Definitely.
