Leave your thoughts about I Dream of Wires.
| Seattle TimesPaul de BarrosThe film tells some good yarns and it has a lovely and lively soundtrack. But there's not enough nitty-gritty explanation about how things work to make anyone but a devoted fan really care. |
| National PostNathalie AtkinsonThe movie is an interesting, sometimes confusing tangle of opinions. |
| User ReviewCody BReally cool. Awesome look into the world of synthesizers, their start, and where they are now. Cevin Key is interviewed in it, along with many other prominent musicians. And in the first part of his interview, Fisherman is also in the movie. |
| User ReviewJeff SGood movie, but it's completely disingenuous for Trent Reznor to badmouth cheap Japanese synthesizers since he earned millions for Pretty Hate Machine using Turbosound and an Emu Emax -- a pretty minimalist, inexpensive setup. Sure, there are nice features to modular analog equipment, but there's also new sonic territory being explored with digital synthesizers and software synths. Two examples of sonic areas that modular synthesizers can't touch: 1) Reaktor is a construction kit that allows users to make whatever device they can imagine, or for the noob, they can download thousands of musical devices that others have created. 2) IRIS works with any sound to make it playable, and expressive using a plethora of controls. ALSO the movie ignored the major drawback to both modular and eurorack modular gear -- most of these systems are MONOPHONIC. Sorry, boys, but I play keyboards with 2 HANDS so polyphony is one of the requirements of my songwriting. As Rich Hilton (of Nile Rodgers' studio and band) says, "They're machines that go Bleep and Bloop". |
| User ReviewAl Scould of been a little better on the explanation of the device itself aside from when and who it was invented and reinvented, also it just shows who found it and their opinions. it has been making a better come back in music and there are quite a few artists these days that use it structly. decent little doc though. |
| User ReviewWilliam WModular synthesizers: The History, present, and future. Everything you ever wanted to know. |
| User ReviewAl HIf you like the electronic music, this film is for you. |
