I wonder what the creators of Muzak think of all of us enthusiasts who actively listen to their music when they had no intention of having people intentionally seek out and listen to Muzak tracks years later on the internet.
Well the person who invented Muzak, George Squier died before the company was properly founded and most people who ran Muzak back in the 60’s and 70’s and created the image it has now are sadly not around, but I would think that they’d appreciate the modern day fans of this music
most of the musicians that arranged for the company didn’t like to arrange such “soulless” and “emotionless” pieces, but the people in charge, like Jarvis and Muscio were normally shocked to hear when listeners called to mention their approval of the music they would hear over the air. Jarvis herself said she never knew how to respond to comments like that. the instrumentalists and most arrangers in the earlier years were quite happy with their jobs and would probably like to see more recognition of these vinyl. i know in the later years things changed, and when under new management, there was tension within the corporation. Rod Baum actually fondly remembers those days when he was in charge, as he stated in the comments on the demo tape for “How Our Music Works” there were mixed feelings across the different people who worked there so it really depends on who hears it. i know one arranger who is still alive, Dick Hyman, remembers very little of the time he worked for the corp.
Nadia's Theme. The Young and The Restless...ahhhh
“isnt she lovely” is a muzakpiece
the harp and when the trumpet kicks in really gets me
Amen!
The Xylophone Rolls are so clean, on all the songs, holy shit
like always with muzak the percussion is tight. i don’t know how they do it
