60 years ago today, the world first heard Pet Sounds.

Released on May 16, 1966, The Beach Boys’ groundbreaking masterpiece redefined what a pop album could be — intimate, experimental, cinematic, and emotionally fearless.

Much of that sound was brought to life inside EastWest Studio 3, where Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys crafted some of the most iconic recordings in music history.

Six decades later, Pet Sounds remains a landmark of imagination, innovation, and studio artistry — a reminder that the right room can help change the sound of music forever.

EastWest set out to create something extraordinary: a virtual instrument that would authentically capture the sound of the synthesizers that shaped modern music.

To do it, they brought in Anthony Marinelli — legendary programmer behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller — along with his personal collection of historic synths. Recording inside Studio 1 at EastWest Studios, the team combined pristine modern recording techniques with analog tape warmth and vintage outboard gear.

The result was ICONIC, a virtual instrument built from synthesizers that were actually used on some of the most famous tracks ever recorded.

From the golden age of analog to today’s digital composers — it all comes from EastWest Studios.

In the late 1960s, as the era of color television dawned, Hawaii Five-0 creator Leonard Freeman commissioned composer Morton Stevens to craft a theme worthy of a groundbreaking new series.

After immersing himself in the spirit of Hawaii, Stevens returned to Los Angeles and recorded the theme inside what is now EastWest Studios. Conducting the CBS Orchestra — with Wrecking Crew saxophonist Tom Scott, engineer Ted Keep, and producer Mel Taylor — Stevens captured a bold, driving sound that would define the show and transcend television.

The Hawaii Five-0 theme became one of the most recognizable TV themes in history, influencing covers, adaptations, and performances across generations.
A cultural landmark, recorded inside EastWest Studios.
