Emergence

The artist Peter Blake , who had designed the cover of the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band , asked Paul McCartney to participate in the exhibition About Collage designed by Blake for the Liverpool Tate Gallery in 2000. McCartney agreed and created a sound collage on the theme of Liverpool . To do this, he made recordings of conversations with students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts , passers-by in Liverpool and street noise. He also used excerpts from his classic work Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio and fragments from old Beatles recording sessions. He had some passages remixed by Youth , with whom he had already worked on The Fireman , and the Welsh band Super Furry Animals at Abbey Road Studios , so he handed over his finished collage by Peter Blake in 2000 he left the Super Furry Animals for revision, who made a remix of the piece.

The Beatles made their first avant-garde recording in January 1967 with the song Carnival of Light , followed by Revolution 9 in 1968 . The idea of ​​Paul McCartney to record an experimental album with the title Paul McCartney Goes Too Far in the late 1960s was not realized, so that a complete album with experimental music by McCartney was not released until 2000.

The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Experimental Album, but the award went to Radiohead for Kid A album .
