Deconstructing the White Album



After years of touring the country performing his dynamic lectures live in cinemas and college lecture halls, composer/producer/musicologist Scott Freiman, through the auspices of "In Performance at the Jacob Burns Film Center," has recorded a series of four lectures that are now available to film audiences everywhere. The first one, Deconstructing The Beatles' White Album, was just released on November 16, 2016 for one-night theatrical screenings. In it, Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles as they create their bestselling album (and the bestselling album of the 1960's), The Beatles (commonly referred to as the White Album).

Released in 1968, the White Album's thirty songs span almost every style of music—from hard rock to country to chamber music to avant-garde. Its recording took place during a remarkable year in Beatles history that included the death of Brian Epstein, the creation of Apple Corps, and a trip to India to study meditation. In this multimedia presentation, Freiman transports his audience into Abbey Road Studio for a look at the revolutionary techniques used during the production of "Revolution," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Blackbird," and other songs from the White Album. It's an informative and entertaining journey into the creative process of The Beatles' performances and recording sessions, allowing the audience to see and hear the evolution of these groundbreaking songs and their lasting influence on popular music.
