Kino immer anders
Modulations is an encyclopedia of electronic music in just about any form, from Detroit techno and house music to Berlin nightclubs, as well as more experimental noise and ambient styles. Through a collection of interviews and footage of dance floors documenting the creation and celebration of the scene’s major movements, you learn as much about the culture as you discover new tracks from the soundtrack you can’t stop bopping to.
This film will make you feel like going out to the club as an intellectual. Watching the pioneers of electronic music discuss how excited they were about that one formerly new synthesizer, what club culture meant to them and their communities, and how they transformed mere noise into sonic art, you can’t help but be in awe of their passion. Whether you’re an aspiring DJ, think you’re an EDM connoisseur because you like Aphex Twin, or only pretend to understand what “acid” or “jungle” means, Modulations will bring you one step closer to understanding your favorite tracks.
Modulations will be show as a double feature in Tandem with Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, the acclaimed visual album to Daft Punk’s album “Discovery”.
