Whether you like the orderliness and euphony of harmony or prefer the freedom and spontaneity of chaos, our new curated program offers a unique selection of documentaries featuring music from various different genres, all of which take something from these two polar opposites.
Leaning more towards the chaotic end of the spectrum would most certainly be the film Rage. Restlessness, rawness, and utter disorderliness are all inherent characteristics of the acid techno genre, a genre whose rules and subcultures are introduced to us by Rage’s filmmakers. Find out what makes this musical style tick and how it fights against the system.
Also offering us a fascinating look into the past is the musical documentary by Peter Liechti from 1989, which introduces us to the fantastic world of two experimenters in electronic music. The film Kick That Habit shows us their creative technique of recycling old electronic devices to make unexpected sounds out of them. Lastly, the film Brasslands is certainly worth our undivided attention as it takes us to the largest brass band festival held in a small Serbian town. The energetic atmosphere imbued with Balkan music is stirred up by the arrival of the first-ever American band to take part in the local competition.
