1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition Soundtrack Released on Bandcamp

The 1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition media project explores the World’s Fair through a variety of formats including the written word on social media and in paperback, images from antiquity and modern photography as well as video taken by Media Engineer Michael Finney, and a documentary film that is on Amazon Prime. Now the film’s soundtrack is available through Bandcamp.

Finney remarked, “It has been great to expand this project and find channels to continue releasing components related to the 1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition. I’m really pleased to be making the soundtrack available to fans of the project because it includes so many tracks that were composed over many years as well as the main theme which was written specifically for this project”

Get the soundtrack via the music distribution platform, Bandcamp for $7.

This project started when the author acquired a book of official photographs published in 1893 to document the first Chicago World’s Fair from a client that is an antiquarian book dealer. After creating a thread of images and commentary on Twitter, Finney decided to gather up the entries and attempt to craft a narrative from the individual posts. “Delving into this history has been a really organic process that I just sort of fell backwards into without the foresight to create an object with physical permanence. It’s really amazing to hold the finished products while exploring this event over the last two years”, he remarked.
