Good Vibrations
Composed by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Mike Love,
released by the Beach Boys, 1966
Fabrics and machine embroidery
Evelyn Kain
An example of psychedelic, sunshine pop, Wilson spliced the song together from over 90 hours of magnetic recording tape. It features the Electro-Theremin played by its inventor Paul Tanner.
The preprogrammed embroidery patterns on my mother’s Singer Touch-Tronic 2010 Memory Machine of 1984, one of the first computerized sewing machines, make perfect vibrations.
