Abstract
The idea of sound design comes from theatre and film production where all aspects of sound (dialogue, atmospherics, music and sound effects) are used to support the narrative. The approach taken in the assembly of Sgt. Pepper lends itself to the notion of sound design in popular-music record production. The idea of a 'sound designer' could legitimately be applied to an orchestrator or arranger, but it acquired great potency with the employment of multitrack tape machines and the development of electronic processing of sounds. A distinct aspect of the sound design of Sgt. Pepper is the way in which the individual songs were joined together on the album. Sound design of a different nature was called for in the recording of 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)', made in the large reverberant Studio One at Abbey Road as Studio Two was unavailable.
