McCartney Times

Producer Giles Martin is a man unsatisfied with perfection. As musical director for the Beatles’ Love production, it was his radical idea a decade ago to create mashups of the band’s most beloved songs as the vibrant, psychedelic soundtrack for a Las Vegas stage show performed by the acrobats of Cirque du Soleil. He produced the music for the original show and soundtrack album with his late father, Beatles producer George Martin.“He was understanding of four punks from Liverpool,” drummer says of Beatles’ late producerIn the years since, Giles Martin has become the next-generation guardian of the Beatles catalog. Last year, he remastered 1+, the expanded Beatles compilation album. He also worked on Martin Scorsese’s George Harrison documentary All Things Must Pass, remixed and remastered the upcoming reissue of 1977’s The Beatles: Live at the Hollywood Bowl, and is again at the mixing desk for Ron Howard’s new documentary on the band’s touring years, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week. He also produced Paul McCartney’s last album, 2013’s New.
