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:

Im a 1000% sure there used to be a thread full of amazing inspiring documentaries on here but it looks like its gone (i assume due to the fact it was full of links to the films on youtube etc). It seems a real shame to lose such a resource so if it was taken down due to the links can we try and rebuild with out them?

One of my most watched is Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda - every time I watch I cant help be inspired and it always gets the neurons firing!

Hi

I just checked and it seems the thread is now in a category which is currently not visible to you. Sorry for the bit of disappointment in that regard.

I’ll check with the other mods to see what they think about the situation (would it better to have a new thread or reopen the old one?)

Haven’t seen this documentary here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1508374/
Interesting list of performances and nice footage.

Not sure where you can watch the full thing, but this Alvin Lucier documentary is one of my favourite things

not nearly as polished, or as recent, but the Robert Ashley doc on Lucier is a good one too:

it’s actually out on DVD, even Amazon sell it. And I’ve often seen it in galleries and museums for sale.

I also have a copy in my Dropbox but not sure if it’s right to share it or not, but would happy to offer up the link if it’s acceptable.
