Deconstructing Dark Side of the Moon

A Multimedia Lecture Hosted by Musicologist SCOTT FREIMAN Live!

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.
