The technical revolution instruments
Normally with symphonic attempts was falling into kitsch, and that was the target of many recordings of the time. Following these errors many musicians began to discover the possibilities of pop music design a more ambitious and very soon realized that their projects did not need to anything having an orchestra behind. Is the next step of progressive rock, symphonic served a low could not be the concert, which was needed instruments capable of generating new and richer sound: keyboards harmonies able to interpret the fullness and intensity of a group of violins or violas or the same brightness as a section of saxophones, trumpets and trombones. It is no coincidence that Progressive Rock was born in this period, partly due to technical advances made possible instruments for greater experimentation. Before 1968 there was no mellotron and synthesizers were starting to program. Therefore to have string sound had no choice but to hire string and drums and trumpets sounded, had to have drums and trumpets.

The mellotron, keyboard instrument similar to the body, if kept in internal prerecorded tapes with different sounds and rich : to give a key a dozen violins sounded a chorus of fifty voices, full orchestra ... Technically, it was very limited because they simply reproducing sounds and was recorded and unwieldy, but managed to break any sound synthesizers in its original elements, synthesizing , and reproduce later. The following step was to create sounds previously unpublished, to consumer tastes. And armed with this new weapon, the symphonic pop group appreciated the services rendered to their orchestras and fitted out on the adventure with increasing background light and tools. Began a new era.
