ABOUT

Scott Freiman (pronounced “Fry Man”), the creator of Deconstructing the Beatles, is a composer, musician, and software entrepreneur.

He is probably the only person to have sold out Carnegie Hall and been a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year.

In 2009, Scott created Deconstructing the Beatles, a series of multimedia presentations about the composition and production techniques of the Fab Four. Each Deconstructing the Beatles lecture is the result of countless hours of intensive research and deep analysis of Beatles’ outtakes and related recordings. Scott takes his listeners on a journey into the studio with the Beatles, giving new insight into their recordings.

Scott has presented his lectures to sold-out audiences at theaters nationwide and has spoken about the Beatles at colleges, universities, and corporations (such as Pixar, Google, and Facebook).  In the Fall of 2012, he taught a semester course called “The Beatles In the Studio” at Yale University.  Scott’s insights into the music of the Beatles can be found in the book All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Beatles Release published in October 2013 by Black Dog and Leventhal.  He also writes about music and “deconstructs” songs and bands for Culture Sonar (www.culturesonar.com).

Scott is featured in nine Deconstructing the Beatles films currently showing in theaters and available on DVD and streaming. They include films on the Birth of the Beatles, the 1963 Beatles, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, the White Album, Abbey Road Side One, and Abbey Road Side Two. Scott’s songwriting course, Deconstructing the Beatles’ Chords and Progressions, is also available on DVD and streaming.

He is also the co-founder and CEO of Qwire Inc., a technology company that provides collaborative tools for everyone who works with music to picture.  Qwire’s software is used to streamline music tracking and rights management for many television series and films.

Scott composed music for more than ten films, as well as the Emmy-award winning eleven-part BBC/Discovery series Life.  He also acted as sound editor and mixer on many films, including the first 3D made-for-television film, David Attenborough’s Flying Monsters, and the award-winning films Encounter Point and Budrus.  In September of 2005, Scott’s sold out Carnegie Hall concert of original music featured a 17-piece orchestra and a children’s choir.

Scott holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Music from Yale University and a Masters of Music Composition from New York University.  He is married to Allison Fine, an award-winning writer and speaker.  They have three children, Maxwell (22), Zachary (20), and Jackson (17).  Scott divides his time between Sleepy Hollow, New York, just outside New York City, and Marina Del Rey, CA.
