TESLAFY ME SOUNDTRACK by Kevin White
” This year, I composed the music for a documentary film about Nikola Tesla called “Teslafy.Me.” It presents the true history of renewable energy and tells the authentic story of Nikola Tesla from the perspective of his balkan homeland. It is produced by Slovenian film maker, Janja Glogovac. The current release date is November 5th. In the meantime, here is a link to buy the original soundtrack that I created with the help of my son, Ian White, on drums and keys, as well as Jack Falkner and Adam Reeve. We worked very hard to capture the feeling of invention, heartbreak, and pure inspiration. We specifically used sounds from Tesla’s lifetime. I mixed the instrumentation of an old fashioned Serbian string band with early electronic instruments from the era. Some of these instruments were very rare but from similarly inspired inventors from Tesla’s lifetime including: the Theremin, Ondes Martenot, Hammond Novachord, Hammond Solovox. I also invented some instruments of my own using vintage electronics and acoustic sources from the period. The music concept is something that I called “Electric Christmas.” I feel like it captures the true voice of electricity. Zithers and Tesla coils, the sound of a future past. Or perhaps a future that we can bring back to life.” -Kevin White
