10th Anniversary screening of the landmark modular synth documentary + special live performance by Aida Khorsandi!
I Dream Of Wires is a documentary about the rise, fall and rebirth of a machine thatshaped electronic music: the modular synthesizer. Over 100 inventors, musicians and enthusiasts are interviewed about their relationship with the modular synthesizer - from its development in the 1960s with pioneering companies Moog and Buchla, and early adopters like Morton Subotnick and Herb Deutsch, to electronic pioneers like Gary Numan and Daniel Miller discussing the modular synthesizer's 1970s heyday, throughto its near-extinction in the 1980s, while established musicians including Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Vince Clarke (Erasure) talk about their ongoing passion for the instrument, to dance and electronica artists like Carl Craig and James Holden who have stepped away from laptops to embrace the sound and physicality of modular synthesizers.
Dream Of Wires also outlines the history of electronic music as a whole, from its very beginnings at the dawn of the electric age. The film provides a fascinating look at how technology has shaped the electronic music landscape. Featuring electronic music legends: Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Gary Numan, Morton Subotnick, Vince Clarke (Erasure), Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy) and dozens of others.
About the performer:
Eyeduh Kho is a composer-performer, sound synthesist, researcher and educator. Aida’s philosophy to musicking is based on experimentation, welcoming chaos and randomness, unlearning and decolonizing hierarchies and ear training in musical practices and sounds. In her sonic workflow, Aida uses displaced sound objects, repetitive, erratic, and granular sonic and physical gestures to create an ever-shifting sonic scene of ambient noise.
ABOUT STOMPBOX:
Stompbox is a music-on-film screening, event and performance series active since 2016, curated by David Bertrand.
