Nick Mason Reveals the Truth About Pink Floyd's Innovation
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has revealed the legendary band accidentally discovered a lot of innovative sound techniques they were given credit for.
The "Dark Side of the Moon" rocker does take credit for a number of studio gimmicks the band uncovered, but admits not all were intentional.
Mason says, "There were some very good musical sounds that we discovered by accident."
"I'm thinking about things like the Asdic ping and Dave accidentally plugging his wah-wah pedal the wrong way round."
"And we did the thing where you hit a cymbal and then dip it in water - though I can't remember what it sounded like now."
"Quite a lot of sounds were constructed using very primitive equipment and simple devices."
