Deconstructing The Beatles' White Album

The Beatles' 1968 self-titled album (commonly referred to as the White Album) is the bestselling album of the Beatles' career. Its 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 a lengthy trip to India and the arrival of Yoko Ono.

In Deconstructing The Beatles' White Album, Scott Freiman, host of the PBS series Deconstructing the Beatles, takes Beatles fans young and old behind the scenes in the studio as the Beatles create this masterpiece.

Scott Freiman is a composer, a musician, and a software entrepreneur. He is the creator of Deconstructing The Music, a series of multimedia presentations about the composition and production techniques of The Beatles and other musicians. Scott has presented his lectures to sold out audiences throughout North America at theaters, museums and corporations, such as Pixar, Google, and Facebook. Scott has also lectured at colleges and universities and has taught a 13-part course at Yale University entitled "The Beatles in The Studio." He co-hosts the monthly Fab Four Master Class with fellow musicologist Kenneth Womack with whom he leads occasional Beatles-themed trips to Liverpool and London.

Scott is featured in eleven Deconstructing the Beatles films currently showing in theatres and available on DVD and streaming, and he is the host of the Deconstructing the Beatles TV series airing on most PBS stations in the United States.

"As a composer and producer, I have always been fascinated by the Beatles innovations in songwriting and recording," said Freiman. "It is truly exciting to listen to songs we know so well evolve from a home demo to a finished recording. There’s a reason why the Beatles' music continues to strike a chord with new generations of fans, 40 years after their last recording."
