Cool (but long) documentary on the budding German techno scene in the 80s and the impact it had on not only techno but electronic music

87 years! Not so much a documentary as a short piece about her, but still great to see, and how enthusiastic Eliane is still.

(NB: in French)

the luke fowler doc on martin bartlett is really lovely. https://lux.org.uk/work/025140-electro-pythagoras-a-portrait-of-martin-bartlett

fowler is doing consistently engaging stuff at the intersection of experimental/electronic music and film (he also did a film about sue tompkins creative process and his most recent film features environmental recordings by toshiya tsunoda)

I’d love to see the one on Sue Tompkins … legend

thanks for that. martin bartlett was so special and so under-recognized.

i have a lot of tape and film from the bartlett / buchla 400 era that desperately needs archival attention.

Just saw this brilliant short film on electronic music and Deaf culture. Really thought provoking and made me want to learn more! https://vimeo.com/357808052

An article and some videos about Bamanya Brian and his Afrorack: https://cdm.link/2020/01/afrorack-first-african-modular/ (as he uses the Beatstep Pro Arturia of course does not hesitate to turn that into a marketing video):

I loved this documentary about the Orb, and was very sad that it went AWOL after a few showings. I delighted to see the interplay and the process (though not the whole or even a typical process, they clarified in a post-Film interview at Moogfest). Release may yet happen. Lunar Orbit

soundbreaking episode 2. Provides context of the change in the role of the studio initially being used to replicate what something sounded like live, to using the studio as an instrument - an easel perhaps. Covers the history from the Beatles to Radiohead. Highly recommend.

Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix might seem like an obvious recommendation but it’s really great to have 4 seasons of context coming directly from interviews with the artists who created this innovative and often misrepresented art form

The Sound Of Belgium(2012)
I really liked Belgian NuBeat and for me R&S records techno made the 1990s and some of the best parties I have been to were in Belgium and this explains the whole thing. It is well worth watching if you like techno :slight_smile:
