The Sound Is Innocent

Release Date: 2019-10-03

Rating: ⭐ 6/10 (1 votes)

Genres: Documentary

Overview: As if directing a science-fiction film, Johana Ožvold dissects the story of electronic music. From the pioneer sound engineers working behind the Iron Curtain, through the French avant-garde composers, up to the post-modern creators of digital sonic artefacts, the first-time filmmaker summons an abstract landscape that is haunting and yet achingly beautiful. A voice appears from old television screens forgotten in the maze of some futuristic archive where past and future seem to coexist in a complex and multi-layered way.

Production: Cinémotif Films, Films de Force Majeure, Punkchart films, Česká televize, Universal Production Partners, Soundsquare, Lyon Capitale TV, RTVS

Electronic music can be minimalist or towering, hermetic or porous. It can be made of other music or made only of itself, of electricity shaped into waves. It can be staggeringly soulful or mystically severe. It can be for the body, the head, the heart, or all three. It can shift our sense of space-time or just slap. Whatever it is, the genre that purists once called homogeneous now offers unparalleled variety. As Ožvold's 'The Sound is Innocent' attests, electronic music infinitely extends the acoustic without uprooting it. It's the sound of our world discovering, not remembering, itself. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-sound-is-innocent-processing-electronic-music
