$25 Public | $20 Members
In Deconstructing
Dark Side of the Moon, Musicologist Scott Freiman celebrates the
50th anniversary of this groundbreaking album with his first non-Beatles
“deconstruction.” Scott will take you on a track-by-track journey through this Pink
Floyd masterpiece, explaining the inspiration for the songs and their
evolution in the studio.
Dark
Side of the Moon is a concept album that explores themes of
life, death, time, and the human experience. The album features nine tracks
that seamlessly flow into each other, creating a cohesive and immersive
listening experience. Musically, the album pushed the boundaries of rock music,
incorporating elements of jazz, classical, and experimental music. The use of
innovative studio techniques, such as the incorporation of spoken word samples
and sound effects, further added to the album's sonic depth and complexity. The
album's seamless transitions between tracks and use of recurring musical themes
created a cohesive and immersive listening experience that has solidified its
place as one of the most iconic and influential albums in the history of music.
Join
Scott Freiman for this 90-minute exploration of the creation of Dark Side of
the Moon.
