Deconstructing The Beatles' Revolver

After years of touring the country performing his dynamic lectures live in cinemas, universities and performing arts centers, composer Scott Freiman, through the auspices of “In Performance at the Jacob Burns Film Center,” has recorded a series of lectures that Abramorama is making available to audiences everywhere. The third of four, DECONSTRUCTING THE BEATLES' REVOLVER, will be available starting Wednesday March 15th for one-night event screenings (and the inevitable encores)!

In it, composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles as they create their seminal 1966 album, Revolver.

In many music polls, Revolver is rated the top album of all time. The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation for The Beatles that coincided with their decision to stop performing live. With memorable songs, such as “Eleanor Rigby,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “Good Day Sunshine” The Beatles pushed popular music to a place it had never been before.

DECONSTRUCTING THE BEATLES' REVOLVER explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into creating this landmark piece of music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, Mr. Freiman will also explore the creation of two other songs recorded during the same time period, “Paperback Writer” and “Rain.” Mr. Freiman conducts an educational journey into the creative process of The Beatles performances and recording sessions
