Press Release, June 15, 2016

“The series combines access to celebrated music artists, producers and innovators and rare archival studio footage for a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of brand new sounds.”
-Jacob Bryant, Variety

“Even from the trailer, it’s obvious that the guest list for Soundbreaking will be massive and legendary: Elton John, Dave Grohl, St. Vincent, Brian Eno, Rolling Stones producer Don Was, Bonnie Raitt, and of course, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.”
-Zach Blumenfeld, Paste

“The late icon teamed with 150 artists and producers to tell stories from the studio, including Joni Mitchell, Dave Grohl, Questlove, Bon Iver, Beck, St. Vincent, Ad-Rock, and others.”
-Evan Minsker, Pitchfork

“The candid series hopes to shed light on the recording process and record the modern history of the music studio. The first two episodes are scheduled to premiere today at SXSW, and now a trailer for the series has been released.” – Flavorwire

“Martin dug deep in his Rolodex to assemble a staggering array of big names from the music biz to provide insight on their process, the nuts and bolts of making the magic, and wider rhapsodizing on the spiritual, nearly holy power the music wields over those who immerse themselves in it.” – Uproxx
