about

The Beatles interest in electronic and experimental music is well documented. Paul McCartney met Delia Derbyshire when she was a member of the Radiophonic Workshop – most famous for creating the time-lord-less Doctor Who Theme with tape loops and learned ways of Musique Concréte.

So, what if The Beatles had recorded Let It Be exactly 50 years on, in 2020. What would it sound like; and, more pertinently, where would they be on the contemporary music spectrum? Would they be ignoring the present and creating the future of music? Or would they insist on using only the warmth of analogue and old valve amps? No. Their eyes, arms and minds would be wide open to new ways of working, and breaking the code and burning down fences – who wants to sit on a burning fence?

A contemporary equivalent of George Martin and The Beatles would be at the cutting edge of evolutionary experimental music. Knee deep, not in sitars, mellotrons and acid tabs, but salivating with amazement at how fast today’s electronic software and technology changes by the week. The album they would release on 8th May 2020 would probably sound more like Let It Bleep.

Ombrelle Concrète - an absurdity in any literal sense.

A concept confounded by its composition. Protection rendered impracticable by material.

As an artistic doctrine however it is essential . A guardian against the forces of anodyne commercialism, it fosters a collective of true creativity and experimentalism.
