"Dream Scene" is an experimental composition by English rock musician George Harrison. It was released in November 1968 on his debut solo album, Wonderwall Music , which was the soundtrack to the psychedelic film Wonderwall , directed by Joe Massot. The track is an instrumental piece, apart from occasional non-English language vocals and a spoken word segment. It comprises three sections and combines meditative Indian sounds and singing with passages of Western instrumentation and avant-garde styling, including backwards tape loops and sound effects. After viewing an early edit of Wonderwall at Twickenham Film Studios, Harrison devised the piece to accompany a psychedelic dream sequence in the film. The song serves as the narrative for the sequence, in which a strait-laced professor imagines himself duelling with the fashion photographer boyfriend of the young woman he obsessively spies on through a hole in the wall separating their apartments.

Contents

Harrison edited "Dream Scene" together from recordings made at different stages of the recording process for Wonderwall Music. He began recording the "Swordfencing" segment in November 1967, following his work on the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film project, and completed the piece during final mixing for the Wonderwall soundtrack, in February 1968. The recording sessions took place in London and the Indian city of Bombay. English classical musician John Barham was one of the contributors in London, and played piano and flugelhorn on the track. The song has been recognised by several reviewers as a sonically adventurous work. Some of these writers highlight "Dream Scene" as a forerunner to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Revolution 9" – a more widely known sound collage piece, to which Harrison also contributed, that was released on the Beatles' White Album.

Background and inspiration

George Harrison was offered the film score project for Wonderwall by the film's director, Joe Massot, [1] in October 1967. [2] Given his status as a junior songwriter in the Beatles to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the project afforded Harrison his first opportunity to compose extensively for a single project. [3] He accepted the assignment on the understanding that he had a free rein to create whatever music he wanted. [4]

The lack of dialogue in Massot's film ensured that its soundtrack played an important role in the narrative. [5] [6] The story concerns an ageing scientist's voyeuristic interest [7] [8] in the glamorous life of his next-door neighbour, a fashion model. [9] [10] In the context of 1960s Swinging London, the contrast between their existences, on either side of a connecting wall, symbolised the division between traditional norms and the younger generation's progressive thinking. [7] [11]

Harrison viewed a rough edit of the film several times at Twickenham Film Studios to determine the type of music required for each scene. [12] Using his notes from these screenings, [12] which included precise timings for each segment, he then composed the musical pieces. [9] [13] Typically of many of the selections in Wonderwall, the title of "Dream Scene" conveys its place in the story. [14] The track appears in the film's first, extended dream sequence and was originally titled "Dream Sequence". [15] The scene consists of an imaginary duel [16] between the scientist and the model's boyfriend, a fashion photographer. [17] During the duel, their weapons change from swords to various giant-sized items, including a pen, an electric drill, [18] a cigarette and a lipstick holder. [19]

Recording

"Dream Scene" is a composite of recorded segments using Western and Indian sounds [20] that Harrison edited together. [21] [nb 1] He began recording "Swordfencing" – a short piece that formed part of "Dream Scene" – on 22 November 1967. [21] Following the completion of his work on the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour , [25] this session marked the start of recording for the Wonderwall soundtrack [7] and took place at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. [26] Using a tabla player and flautists Richard Adeney and Jack Ellory, [27] Harrison taped four takes of "Swordfencing", in addition to working on pieces titled "India", "Backwards Tabla" and "Backwards Tones". [7] The following day, he recorded a further twelve takes, [7] with a line-up comprising two oboe players, a trumpeter and two flautists. [27] John Barham, who contributed to much of the Western music used in the soundtrack, [28] wrote the arrangement for flutes, oboes and trumpet. [15]

Barham also played piano and flugelhorn on "Dream Scene". [29] Tommy Reilly played chromatic harmonica, [12] having originally been invited to contribute to the country-and-western piece "Cowboy Music". [23] In author Simon Leng's description, the London recordings for Wonderwall engendered a spirit of improvisation and spontaneity among Harrison's fellow musicians, which "let the music 'create itself'" from his ideas. [30] Among the participants were avant-garde designers the Fool [14] [31] – Simon Posthuma, Marijke Koger and Josje Leeger [32] – who had created the psychedelic-themed sets for Massot's film. [33] [34] According to musicologist Walter Everett, the Fool played woodwind instruments on "Dream Scene". [35]

Other sounds and instrumentation on the Western portions of the track include drums, electric guitar, [36] sound effects, backwards tape loops, [29] and Mellotron. [37] The Eastern sounds include hand drums, sitar and singing, [29] the last of which Harrison sourced from a recording in EMI's tape library at Abbey Road. [12] While author Bruce Spizer writes that the Indian musicians may well have included Aashish Khan and percussionist Mahapurush Misra, [29] both of whom contributed to the Wonderwall soundtrack in London in December 1967, [12] [38] Harrison recorded most of the Indian music for the film in Bombay. [7] [33] The latter sessions took place at HMV Studios [9] between 9 and 13 January 1968. [7]

Harrison completed the soundtrack in London over the remainder of January, [39] after which he and Ken Scott mixed the recordings. [12] During this last process, Harrison edited "Swordfencing" into the piece on 11 February and overdubbed further sound effects. [21] At 5:27 in length, [40] "Dream Scene" was the longest selection included on the album that Harrison culled from the film's music soundtrack, Wonderwall Music . [41]

Structure and content

Aside from "Ski-ing", "Dream Scene" is the only selection on Wonderwall Music in which the Indian and Western musical styles are combined. [42] The song consists of three distinct parts. [15] [43] The first is a meditative section featuring phase-shifted Indian instrumentation [20] such as harp (swarmandal) and sitar, [44] much of which is reversed [44] through the use of backwards tape loops. [45] Hand drums (tabla tarang) then enter, along with vocals (sung in Nepali) [29] that pan from one side to the other across the stereo image. [45] Leng describes the effect as "hauntingly fragile male and female Indian voices in a love duet". [16]

The second part begins at 2:27 [29] with what Leng terms "a charging John Barham piano vamp answered by a host of flutes". [16] Drums and further orchestration also enter at this point. [29] The third part starts at 3:23 [29] with a portion of white noise atmospherics, which is soon contrasted by a graceful trumpet solo. [16] Dual harmonica parts enter, interspersed with a police siren, [16] followed by more backwards tape sounds; guitar, [29] flange-treated piano and Mellotron are also heard. [43] Music journalist D.J. Pangburn likens this final part to "Indian-inspired jazz". [44] The song fades out with a slowed-down spoken voice over the sound of church bells. [35]

Leng identifies "Dream Scene" as a "juxtaposition of opposites" due to its contrasting musical styles and moods. He notes that it was recorded several months before "Revolution 9" [16] – Lennon's well-known sound collage, which incorporates musique concrète and other avant-garde elements, and was released on The Beatles (also known as the White Album). [46] Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter similarly comment that Harrison's contribution to "Revolution 9" "may have been understated in retrospect after listening to ['Dream Scene']". [37] [nb 2]

Release

Wonderwall Music was the first solo release by a member of the Beatles, [50] as well as the first album issued on their new record label, Apple Records. [51] Apple released the album on 1 November 1968 in Britain, [35] [52] with the US release following on 2 December. [53] "Dream Scene" was sequenced as the final track on side one of the LP. [54] [55] In the US, Capitol Records, Apple's distributor, re-banded several of the tracks, [43] so that the song appeared as part of a medley with the three tracks preceding it: "Greasy Legs", "Ski-ing" and "Gat Kirwani". [40] [56] On the mono version of the album, issued in the UK only, the mix for "Dream Scene" differed from the stereo release, due to the shorter fade-in given to the Indian segment and, in the final segment, differences in the content and positioning of the loops. [57] The LP insert carried a message reading: "Special thanks to friends, loops and all the staff at EMI Bombay." [58]

According to Simon Leng, the Wonderwall project demonstrated that "There were now three Beatles who held firm artistic visions". He highlights "Dream Scene" in particular, describing it as a "musical acid trip" that "rivals anything on Sgt. Pepper for sheer freak-out effect". [59] In the 1980s, Harrison was dismissive of the Western music on the album, calling it "loads of horrible mellotron stuff and a police siren". [60] Barham said he considered "Dream Scene" to be the album's "most extraordinary track". [15]

Critical reception

In a review for Uncut , Richard Williams likens Wonderwall Music to an exploded diagram of the Beatles' "overtly experimental period (1965–68)" on which "Dream Scene" is "a collage of found sounds, anticipating Lennon's 'Revolution No. 9'". [61] New Zealand Herald critic Graham Reid calls the song "experimental in [the] finest sense of the word" [36] and "by far the most psychedelic and out-there piece by any Beatle to that time". He adds that "towards the end you can almost anticipate Lennon's Revolution 9 coming in." [62] In his review for Classic Rock magazine, former Mojo editor Paul Trynka describes it as "serene" and, along with "Greasy Legs" and "Party Seacombe" from the same album, an example of Harrison's standing as "a talented film composer with a gift for evocative soundscapes". [63] [64]

Writing for the Death and Taxes website, D.J. Pangburn highlights "Dream Scene" as his favourite track on an album that, as a non-vocal soundtrack, is often overlooked, yet contains individual pieces that show Harrison to be "every bit the psychedelic equal of Lennon" and "an astute musicologist and modern-day interpreter, surpassing even McCartney". [44] Madison Desler of Paste includes the track in her list of the 20 best songs from Harrison's solo career. She writes: "'Dream Scene' is the standout [on Wonderwall Music]; an astral, Indian-influenced instrumental that goes from whimsical to nightmarish. It's the perfect accompaniment to the magic-mushrooms visuals of the scene, and evidence of a different side of Harrison's talents." [65] In a review for Uncut's Ultimate Music Guide issue on Harrison, Jon Dale gives the song four stars out of five and says that Harrison "flies in tape loops, edits together drone sequences, spools everything backwards, winds a police siren around a blasting harmonica, and generally treats the studio ... as the playground it so rightly is". [66]

Notes

  1. ↑ Harrison approached the Wonderwall soundtrack partly as a means to promote Indian classical music, [22] [23] further to his adoption of the genre into his work with the Beatles over 1966–67. [24]
  2. ↑ Lennon described "Revolution 9" as a collaboration between himself and Yoko Ono. [47] [48] Harrison was the only other member of the Beatles to participate in the recording. [49]

<i>All Things Must Pass</i> 1970 studio album by George Harrison

All Things Must Pass is the third studio album by English rock musician George Harrison. Released as a triple album in November 1970, it was Harrison's first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles in April that year. It includes the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life", as well as songs such as "Isn't It a Pity" and the title track that had been overlooked for inclusion on releases by the Beatles. The album reflects the influence of Harrison's musical activities with artists such as Bob Dylan, the Band, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and Billy Preston during 1968–70, and his growth as an artist beyond his supporting role to former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. All Things Must Pass introduced Harrison's signature slide guitar sound and the spiritual themes present throughout his subsequent solo work. The original vinyl release consisted of two LPs of songs and a third disc of informal jams titled Apple Jam. Several commentators interpret Barry Feinstein's album cover photo, showing Harrison surrounded by four garden gnomes, as a statement on his independence from the Beatles.

<i>Dark Horse</i> (George Harrison album) 1974 studio album by George Harrison

Dark Horse is the fifth studio album by English rock musician George Harrison. It was released on Apple Records in December 1974 as the follow-up to Living in the Material World. Although keenly anticipated on release, Dark Horse is associated with the controversial North American tour that Harrison staged with Indian classical musician Ravi Shankar in November and December that year. This was the first US tour by a member of the Beatles since 1966, and the public's nostalgia for the band, together with Harrison contracting laryngitis during rehearsals and choosing to feature Shankar so heavily in the programme, resulted in scathing concert reviews from some influential music critics.

<i>Electronic Sound</i> 1969 studio album by George Harrison

Electronic Sound is the second studio album by English rock musician George Harrison. Released in May 1969, it was the last of two LPs issued on the Beatles' short-lived Zapple record label, a subsidiary of Apple Records that specialised in the avant-garde. The album is an experimental work comprising two lengthy pieces performed on a Moog 3-series synthesizer. It was one of the first electronic music albums by a rock musician, made at a time when the Moog was usually played by dedicated exponents of the technology. Harrison subsequently introduced the Moog to the Beatles' sound, and the band featured synthesizer for the first time on their 1969 album Abbey Road.

<i>Wonderwall Music</i> 1968 studio album / soundtrack album by George Harrison

Wonderwall Music is the debut solo album by English musician George Harrison and the soundtrack to the 1968 film Wonderwall, directed by Joe Massot. Released in November 1968, it was the first solo album by a member of the Beatles, and the first album issued on the band's Apple record label. The songs are all instrumental pieces, except for occasional non-English language vocals, and mostly comprise short musical vignettes. Following his Indian-styled compositions for the Beatles since 1966, he used the film score to further promote Indian classical music by introducing rock audiences to instruments that were relatively little-known in the West – including shehnai, sarod, tar shehnai and santoor. The Indian pieces are contrasted by Western musical selections, in the psychedelic rock, experimental, country and ragtime styles.

He recorded and collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Gary Wright.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">All Things Must Pass (song)</span> 1970 song by George Harrison

"All Things Must Pass" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, issued in November 1970 as the title track to his triple album of the same name. Billy Preston released the song originally – as "All Things (Must) Pass" – on his Apple Records album Encouraging Words (1970) after the Beatles had rehearsed the song in January 1969 but did not include it on their Let It Be album. The composition reflects the influence of the Band's sound and communal music-making on Harrison, after he had spent time with the group in Woodstock, New York, in late 1968. In his lyrics, Harrison drew inspiration from Timothy Leary's poem "All Things Pass", a psychedelic adaptation of the Tao Te Ching.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Try Some, Buy Some</span> 1971 song by Ronnie Spector

"Try Some, Buy Some" is a song written by English rock musician George Harrison that was first released in April 1971 as a single by American singer Ronnie Spector, formerly the lead vocalist of the Ronettes. She recorded it in London along with other Harrison compositions for a planned comeback album on the Beatles' Apple record label. The project was co-produced by Phil Spector, Ronnie's husband at the time, but abandoned following recording sessions that were hampered by his erratic behaviour. The only official release from the sessions, the single achieved minimal commercial success, peaking at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 63 on Canada's RPM Top 100. Harrison later added his own vocal onto a new mix of the instrumental track and included the song on his 1973 album Living in the Material World.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ding Dong, Ding Dong</span> 1974 single by George Harrison

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, written as a New Year's Eve singalong and released in December 1974 on his album Dark Horse. It was the album's lead single in Britain and some other European countries, and the second single, after "Dark Horse", in North America. A large-scale production, the song incorporates aspects of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique, particularly his Christmas recordings from 1963. In addition, some Harrison biographers view "Ding Dong" as an attempt to emulate the success of two glam rock anthems from the 1973–74 holiday season: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade, and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". The song became only a minor hit in Britain and the United States, although it was a top-twenty hit elsewhere in the world.

"That Is All" is a song by English musician George Harrison released as the final track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World. A slow, heavily orchestrated ballad, it is one of many Harrison love songs that appear to be directed at either a woman or a deity. Harrison wrote and recorded the song during the height of his public devotion to Hinduism; on release, Rolling Stone described its lyrics as "a sort of Hindu In Paradisium".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">In the First Place</span> 1999 single by the Remo Four

"In the First Place" is a song by the English rock group the Remo Four. It was released as a single in January 1999 to accompany the re-release of the 1968 psychedelic film Wonderwall, directed by Joe Massot. The song was written by Colin Manley and Tony Ashton of the Remo Four and recorded in London in January 1968 during the sessions for George Harrison's Wonderwall Music soundtrack album. Having produced the track for the band, Harrison unearthed the recording 30 years later when supplying Massot with the master tapes for the film's music. Ashton and the Remo Four's drummer, Roy Dyke, also recorded the song with their subsequent group, Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, in 1969.

John Barham is an English classical pianist, composer, arranger, producer and educator. He is best known for his orchestration of George Harrison albums such as All Things Must Pass (1970) and for his association with Indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wah-Wah (song)</span> Song by George Harrison

"Wah-Wah" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison wrote the song following his temporary departure from the Beatles in January 1969, during the troubled Get Back sessions that resulted in their Let It Be album and film. The lyrics reflect his frustration with the atmosphere in the group at that time – namely, Paul McCartney's over-assertiveness and criticism of his guitar playing, John Lennon's lack of engagement with the project and dismissal of Harrison as a songwriter, and Yoko Ono's constant involvement in the band's activities. Music critics and biographers recognise the song as Harrison's statement of personal and artistic freedom from the Beatles. Its creation contrasted sharply with his rewarding collaborations outside the group in the months before the Get Back project, particularly with Bob Dylan and the Band in upstate New York.

"I'd Have You Anytime" is a song written by George Harrison and Bob Dylan, released in 1970 as the opening track of Harrison's first post-Beatles solo album, All Things Must Pass. The pair wrote the song at Dylan's home in Bearsville, near Woodstock in upstate New York, in November 1968. Its creation occurred during a period when Harrison had outgrown his role in the Beatles and Dylan had withdrawn from the pressures of fame to raise a family. "I'd Have You Anytime" is recognised as a statement of friendship between the two musicians, whose meetings from 1964 onwards resulted in changes in musical direction for both Dylan and the Beatles. The song reflects the environment in which it was written, as Harrison's verses urge the shy and elusive Dylan to let down his guard, and the Dylan-composed choruses respond with a message of welcome.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Run of the Mill (George Harrison song)</span> 1970 song by George Harrison

"Run of the Mill" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison wrote the song shortly after the Beatles' troubled Get Back sessions in early 1969, during a period when his growth as a songwriter had inadvertently contributed to the dysfunction within the Beatles' group dynamic. The lyrics reflect the toll that running their company Apple Corps had taken on relationships within the band, especially between Paul McCartney and the other three Beatles, as well as Harrison's dismay at John Lennon's emotional withdrawal from the band. Commentators recognise "Run of the Mill" as one of several Harrison compositions that provide an insight into events behind the Beatles' break-up, particularly the difficulties surrounding Apple.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Let It Down</span> 1970 song by George Harrison

"Let It Down" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. The recording was co-produced by Phil Spector and employs the latter's Wall of Sound production technique to lavish effect. Its brash opening and choruses contrast with the ethereal quality of the verses – a loud/soft approach that has been credited with influencing indie bands during the 1980s and 1990s.

"Hear Me Lord" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. It was the last track on side four of the original LP format and is generally viewed as the closing song on the album, disc three being the largely instrumental Apple Jam. Harrison wrote "Hear Me Lord" in January 1969 while still a member of the Beatles. The band rehearsed it briefly at Twickenham Film Studios that month, but it was passed over for inclusion on what became their final album, Let It Be.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hari's on Tour (Express)</span> 1974 instrumental by George Harrison

"Hari's on Tour (Express)" is an instrumental by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1974 album Dark Horse. It was also the B-side of the album's second single – which was "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" in North America and most other territories, and "Dark Horse" in Britain and some European countries. Among Harrison's post-Beatles solo releases, the track is the first of only two genuine instrumentals he released from 1970 onwards – the other being the Grammy Award-winning "Marwa Blues", from his 2002 album Brainwashed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Circles (George Harrison song)</span> 1982 song by George Harrison

"Circles" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released as the final track of his 1982 album Gone Troppo. Harrison wrote the song in India in 1968 while he and the Beatles were studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The theme of the lyrics is reincarnation. The composition reflects the cyclical aspect of human existence as, according to Hindu doctrine, the soul continues to pass from one life to the next. Although the Beatles never formally recorded it, "Circles" was among the demos the group made at Harrison's Esher home, Kinfauns, in May 1968, while considering material for their double album The Beatles.

"You and Me (Babe)" is a song by English musician Ringo Starr, released as the final track on his 1973 album Ringo. Starr's fellow ex-Beatle George Harrison wrote the song along with Mal Evans, the Beatles' longtime aide and a personal assistant to Starr during the making of Ringo. The track serves as a farewell from Starr to his audience in the manner of a show-closing finale, by lyrically referring to the completion of the album. During the extended fadeout, Starr delivers a spoken message in which he thanks the musicians and studio personnel who helped with the recording of Ringo – among them, Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and his producer, Richard Perry.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Apple Scruffs (song)</span> 1971 single by George Harrison

"Apple Scruffs" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. He wrote it as a tribute to the die-hard Beatles fans known as Apple scruffs, who used to wait outside the Apple Corps building and other London locations for a glimpse of the band members. This tradition continued after the group's break-up in April 1970, as the scruffs were a regular presence outside the studios where Harrison recorded his album. The song was also issued on the album's second single, as the B-side to "What Is Life".
