How the Beatles were influenced by the Avant-Garde

In this episode of 'Listening in', I explore how The Beatles were inspired by Avant-Garde contemporary music, and, in particular, the work of Karlheinz Stockhausen. I look at how The Beatles used the techniques that had been developed by the Avant-Garde to create completely new sounds in their music and to produce songs the likes of which had never been heard before in the mainstream.
