Decades have passed since the last live Beatles recording session, but interest in their unprecedented creative innovations has never flagged.
On Wednesday, December 3rd, the AES New York Section will host a special presentation by “Recording The Beatles” authors Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew at the Ed Sullivan Theater, Broadway and 53rd Street.
Combing through their massive 500 page landmark book, Ryan and Kehew will provide attendees with extensively researched details into the techniques and technology used by the engineers, producers and artists responsible for one of the most compelling musical legacies of all time. Their presentation will include rare photos of the studios and equipment from Abbey Road in the 1960’s.
AES NY Section Chairman Joel Spector and Chairman Emeritus Noah Simon report the event is will be moderated by Malcolm Addey, an accomplished recording engineer who started at Abbey Road and was EMI’s most prolific hit-making engineer before the Beatles arrived. The historical nature of this program is underscored by the fact that The Beatles made their American television debut from the very stage where Ryan and Kehew will be delivering their presentation. This will be a very special night, and will also serve as the culmination of the AES 60th Anniversary Year.
AES members and professional audio students may RSVP for the Recording The Beatles event by sending an e-mail to mailto:rsvp-ny@aes.org . There is no charge for admission, but seating is limited.
The event is partially funded by the generous contributions of Tekserve, Dale Pro Audio, Sennheiser, API, Avatar Studios and SSL, and is co-sponsored by the AES Boston Section which is hosting a similar presentation on December 2.

[[Gentlemen:
Do not post this event anywhere. We are nearly filled up and I don't want to receive numerous rsvp's which will each have to be declined. PULL DOWN THE POST.
