It took Dalhousie University professor Jason Brown six months and some advanced mathematical analytical techniques to crack the code behind one of the most mysterious sounds in music: the "prraaaaaangg" sound at the beginning of the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night."
I had no idea the first note to that classic song was so layered and rich with harmonics... listening back to the song, it seems so obvious. As George Martin is quoted in the same article - "it shouldn't be expected that people are necessarily doing what they appear to be doing on records".
