ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY SOUNDTRACK
My dad, Don Tavel, was a small-town musician and inventor from Indiana. I never knew him because he died in a car crash when I was 10 weeks old.
When I was 25, I dug out a synthesizer prototype from my grandma's attic that he'd invented in the '70s called the Resynator.
Originally intending to only document the resurrection, the film turned out to be a deeply personal 10 year journey of connecting with someone I'd never cared to know before, and learning a lot about myself in the process.
The film was scored by Chris Ruggiero using the resurrected Resynator synth, as well as a few moments lifted from music Don recorded when he was just 17 years old.
I think my dad would be very happy to know that music he made in 1969, and a synth he invented in the 1970s is being used, heard and loved over 50 years later.
