"Los Angeles-based production company ZU33 is set to begin production next month on SYNTH GOD. After more than a year's worth of intensive R&D, the makers of the critically acclaimed film MOOG are embarking on a far-reaching search for the gods of electronic music in this ambitious new feature-length documentary film project.
Filmmaker/musician Hans Fjellestad will write and direct the film.
Fjellestad explains:
'Since the late 1960s, keyboardists have used the synthesizer to stake out new territory in popular music, perhaps in a way unparalleled since the baroque organists of the early 18th century or the concert pianist 'rock star' romantics 100 years later or speed-demon ragtime pianists 100 years after that. Now with another century past, musical styles and technologies have taken off in all kinds of unexpected directions. And the Synth Gods lead the way. Their pantheon is massive and full of all shapes, sounds and flavors. I want to paint a huge crazy mural that illustrates the history and currency of every Synth God species on the planet, and the instrument that gives them their power.'"

"explains"?
ReplyDeleteI read this three times, and couldn't work out what he's talking about. My guess? A bunch of interviews with Money Mark...
better be plenty of Vangelis, damn it.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed that by the word "God," they of course mean "cartoonist."
ReplyDeleteregarding the money mark joke....
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.....AWESOME
I hope they spend a lot of time on Wendy Carlos and Keith Emerson.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it sure would be nice to learn more about that open-filter minimoog patch on Mr. Emerson's 85%-for-show Moog system that might as well be a stack of unplugged Marshall cabinets.
ReplyDeleteSorry. It's always bugged me that whenever a skilled piano & organ player walks over to a synth & plays a long solo on it, suddenly he's a "synthesist."
I hope they get more relavent people to interview than that Moog film...
ReplyDeleteHow about 2 hours with Ralf & Florian? :-)
