There have been tons of documentary films on the Beatles, but this radio piece is the most engaging of them all. Not that I have seen or heard all the documentaries on the Beatles.
But, I can safely say that 'The Beatles in America-1964' could not have been told better in any other medium. Paul Ingles has very skillfully and appropriately used archived materials throughout the piece that takes you to the year 1964 and make you feel what it was like to be a teenager and a radio listener. The piece also demonstrates how equally good the Beatles members were at communicating with the media and fans. Can you think of another band who had or has that?

Very polished, well produced piece about the tension between two groups. Identification is a universal problem when natives and immigrants come in conflict, and the piece made me reaize that. I wanted to learn more.
This piece strikes a chord and should be playing nationally.

This piece is a must listen for all sound designers, aspiring or in need of inspiring. A short glimpse into the laboratory of a sound designer who create a visual world for the ears. I bet it will get you experimentin' with sounds yourself afterwards.
Darn...I can't stop humming "London Bridge is Falling Down". You'll know what I mean.

All I can say is, musician or no musician, you should take a few minutes to listen to this piece. This piece introduces us to two new subjects, Paul Pena, and Tuvan throat singing. 'Throat singing!', you might exclaim, but I will bet you, after you listen to this piece you'll want to give it a try.

I'd accidentally stumbled into 'Genghis Blues' couple of years ago. I guess you'll have to look that title up to see what I mean.

But first, listen, listen to this piece. Notice how Jonathan introduces Paul and the unusual music (if you don't know about it).
A great example of radio verite. That term doesn't exist, you say? Now it does.

Short and wonderfully produced piece! I don't think the title could be used for anything more perfect. The best part of the piece is not what sounds Jackson decided to include, but which sounds he had left out for us to fill in. Good producers know how to use sound well, great ones know how to use silence.

As always, Matt's works have many levels. His use of SFX and music fit just right for this piece. Nostalgic, and has a cool, smooth pace to it.
