MARTIN: “Paul would sit down and ask what I planned to do with his songs, every note virtually…. Lots of the arrangements to his songs were very much his ideas which I would have to implement. John would be more vague in what he wanted. He would talk in metaphors about his ideas. I’d have to get inside his brain to find out what he wanted. It would be more of a psychological approach.
“He’d say—for example, on ‘Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!’—‘This song’s about a fairground. A little bit mystified. I want to get the feeling of the sawdust and the feel of the ring. Can you do something about it?’ I’d then have to think how that imagery could be transformed into sound.” Coleman
Lennon wanted the authentic sound of a steam organ, but Martin told him none that existed could be played by hand (they were all played by punched cards). Road
So Martin took tapes of old Victorian steam organs and asked the engineer to cut them into small sections, about a foot long. Then he told him to fling them up into the air and put them back together again at random. The result, of course, made no sense in strictly musical terms, but it did produce the kind of aural wash Martin was looking for.
