The Beatles and the Beatlesque address a paradox emanating from The Beatles music through a crossdisciplinary hybrid of reflections drawing from both musical practice itself and academic research. Indeed despite their extreme stylistic variety The Beatles songs seem to always bear a distinctive identity that emerges even more in similar works by other artists whether they are merely inspired derivative or explicitly paying homage.ampampnbsp The authors a musicologist and music producer emphasize the importance of record production in The Beatles music in a way that does justice not only to the final artifacts the released songs but also to the creative process itself i.e. the songs in the making.Through an investigation into the work of George Martin and his team as well as The Beatles themselves this text sheds light on the role of the studio in shaping the groups eclectic but unique sound.ampampnbsp The chapters address what makes a song Beatlesque to what extent production choices are responsible for developing a style production being understood not as a mere set of technicalities but also in a more conceptual way as well as the aesthetics semiotics and philosophy that animated studio activity.
