Michael Deal has released a beautiful collection of visualizations of the Beatle’s history and influence on his website.
These visualizations are part of an extensive study of the music of the Beatles. Many of the diagrams and charts are based on secondary sources, including but not limited to sales statistics, biographies, recording sesion notes, sheet music, and raw audio readings.
He shows four large charts:
- Authorship & Collaboration, based on William J. Dowdling’s Beatlesongs
- Self Reference, showing how later music refers back to earlier songs
- Song Keys, showing the various keys in several songs
- The Working Schedule 1963-1966
Go check them out in all their glory, then hit the Flickr group for even more.
