TV, The Musical - EPISODE 1

It's based on the true story of the events surrounding the invention of TV and the TV industry (1920's - 1969) and all the sacrifices the people (Philo Farnsworth - genius inventor - and David Sarnoff - General of RCA - and their families) made in order to make TV/video a real medium and big business. The length is 18:27. Here's what you'll hear:

  • multilayered soundscape featuring the early sounds of 20th Century (amazing with headphones)

  • a big number at the gates of the NYC World's Fair in 1939 featuring a male and a female welcoming people in by the thousands

  • short scenes with Pem Farnsworth (Philo Farnsworth's wife at age 97-98 or so) and a female journalist interviewing her taking place in the late 1990’s

  • the appearance of Amelia Farnsworth (an apparition of Lewis Farnsworth's first wife - he's the father of Philo Farnsworth) and Lewis who is there to milk the cows pre-dawn

  • ends with a bit of a reprise of “The World of Tomorrow” and the credits
