IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails I Dream of Wires 2013-12-12 | I DREAM OF WIRES is an independent documentary exploring the history, demise and resurgence of the ultimate electronic music machine, the MODULAR SYNTHESIZER. A special edition, 4-hour extended cut is available to order now on DVD and BluRay from http://idreamofwires.org. The feature-length, theatrical cut is set to premiere spring 2014.-- IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails --In January 2012, the I Dream of Wires team visited the Hollywood studio of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, for a joint interview with fellow NIN member, Alessandro Cortini. Through his continued interest and adoption of cutting-edge electronic instrumentation, Reznor's been witness to the evolution of the synthesizer, from the giant unobtainium of '70s modulars, to the digital "how's the piano sound?" ROMplers of the '80s, right through to the current dominance of computer-based plug-in synthesizers. In our interview, Reznor expresses his enthusiasm for the recent wave of boutique modular synthesizer manufacturers, for having "brought a lot of that magic back into the synth world, that got lost in the Korgs and the Yamahas and the Rolands...." Additionally, Reznor and Cortini offer insight into the influence of an instrument's physical presence, and how for both of them, the process of interacting with hardware plays a crucial role in the resulting sound.http://www.nin.comhttp://idreamofwires.orghttp://vimeo.com/idreamofwireshttp://facebook.com/idreamofwiresdocumentary
I Dream Of Wires 2014 documentary Trailer - Official I Dream of Wires 2014-06-05 | Waveshaper Media presents: I DREAM OF WIRES (2014)I DREAM OF WIRES is sponsored by MATRIXSYNTH - everything synthhttp://matrixsynth.comI Dream Of Wires is available NOW on DVD, iTunes, Vimeo on Demand, and many more streaming services. For details on where to purchase/download/stream in your country, please see http://idreamofwires.org.I Dream Of Wires (2014 Waveshaper Media, directed by Robert Fantinatto) is a documentary about the rise, fall and rebirth of a machine that shaped electronic music: the modular synthesizer. Over 100 inventors, musicians and enthusiasts are interviewed about their relationship with the modular synthesizer - for many, it’s an all-consuming passion.Beginning with an historical primer, I Dream Of Wires explores the early development of modular synthesizers in the 1960s, from pioneering companies Moog and Buchla. We speak to early adopters of the modular synthesizer, forward-thinking musicians like Morton Subotnick and Herb Deutsch, offering insight into the modular synthesizer's conception.Electronic pioneers like Gary Numan and Daniel Miller discuss the modular synthesizer's 1970s heyday, through to 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 modular synthesizer, and how it influences their music. Meanwhile, a new generation of dance and electronica artists including Carl Craig and James Holden explain why they’ve stepped away from laptops to embrace the sound and physicality of modular synthesizers. Innovative companies Modcan and Doepfer reveal how they planted the seeds that have now grown into a major cottage industry.Through tracing the history of the modular synthesizer, I 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.Additional credits:Director: Robert FantinattoProducer: Jason AmmSoundtrack: Solvent (OST via Suction Records / Ghostly International)Trailer: Kevan Byrne"I Dream Of Wires shows how, in the same way that the instruments themselves are rewiring both performers' and listeners' expectations about electronic music, the community that has evolved around modular synths is changing the relationships between users, sellers, and makers…"- The Wire magazine (UK)"As far as documentaries go, this is a slick, polished production. The film looks great, and as one would hope and suspect, the audio is wonderful, with the score by Solvent setting the perfect mood throughout...."- Film Threat (USA)"…lingering close-up shots of analog synths aside (and there are a lot of these), perhaps what's most joyous about I Dream of Wires is that it profiles a subculture that has almost nothing to do with the music industry."- The List Film (UK)"I would highly recommend Robert Fantinatto's documentary film not only to anyone interested in modular analog synthesizers, but to anybody interested in sound and the electronic reproduction of audio in general. This film is so well made it should appeal to anyone curious about people who are obsessed with minutiae, weird sounds, and music that 97 percent of the planet would find annoying."- Tape Op magazine (USA)"With its excellent narration and top-notch interviews with pioneers and popularizers like Morton Subotnick, Gary Numan, and Trent Reznor, I Dream of Wires gives us a glimpse into the mind of electronically-minded musicians and their often revolutionary perspectives on music, technology, and human ingenuity.... If you’re curious about the wide world of synths but intimidated by the steep learning curve, check out this movie...."- DigBoston weekly (USA)"A recommended watch for those with any degree of interest in synths and synth music. 10/10 Excellence"- Music Tech magazine (UK)"…if synthesizers are your thing this documentary provides a huge amount of insight and should appeal in particular to musicians or engineers."- HMV (UK)"…this is as thorough a study of the unique appeal of modular synths as you’ll find."- Attack Magazine (UK)I Dream Of Wireshttp://idreamofwires.orghttp://twitter.com/IDOWdocumentaryhttp://facebook.com/idreamofwiresdocumentaryhttp://sciencewithsynthesizers.com
IDOW Extended Interview #11 - Sean McBride (Xeno & Oaklander) I Dream of Wires 2014-04-11 | After an initial interview following his debut Toronto performance in 2011, I Dream Of Wires visited the Brooklyn NY studio of Sean McBride, for a first-hand look into his working methods. McBride has been releasing his unique brand of intricate synthwave music since the early 2000s, both as a solo artist under the name Martial Canterel, and as half of the Xeno and Oaklander duo. McBride has been an outspoken devotee of hardware analog synthesizers, and utilizes a vast collection of vintage drum machines, sequencers, and synths, ranging from basic the basic SH-101 to modular (Serge, Roland 100m) and semi-modular (Roland 100, Arp 2600) units; from a Prefixmag interview: "I liken the playing of these synths to a craft, the making of something with one's hands. Perhaps akin to the potter's wheel -- it is a fragile and vulnerable balance between hand and tool."In recent years, McBride's live rig has shifted towards a contemporary, portable Eurorack-heavy modular system, better suited to his extensive international touring. Xeno and Oaklander is set to release a new album on Ghostly International, summer 2014.http://xenoandoaklander.comhttp://ghostly.com/artists/xeno-and-oaklanderhttp://martialcanterel.bandcamp.com"I Dream Of Wires" is an independent documentary exploring the history, demise and resurgence of the ultimate electronic music machine, the modular synthesizer.

I Dream of Wires showcase - MUTEK 2012: IDOW reporting for Wired.com I Dream of Wires 2013-02-08 | As part of the annual MUTEK Festival in Montreal Canada, the I Dream of Wires team curated an evening of cutting-edge, modular synthesizer based performances. The event took place on Saturday June 2, 2012 at the Montreal Satosphere (part of the Society for Arts and Technology), a spectacular 360 degree multi-media performance space with live performances, all incorporating modular synthesizers, by Sealey/Greenspan/Lanza (Orphx/Junior Boys), Keith Fullerton Whitman (Kranky/Editions Mego), Clark (Warp Records), and Container (Spectrum Spools).This video piece was originally posted as an exclusive feature at Wired.com.

More than 100 prominent musicians, including Trent Reznor, cEvin Key, Gary Numan, Carl Craig and Morton Subotnick are in the process of being interviewed for the ambitious feature-length film, which is set to be finished in the fall.Colorful masses of patch cables, rows of knobs and faders, and electronic sounds abound in the exclusive clip above, shot this month at the legendary MUTEK Festival in Montreal. In addition to interviews with several musicians, including Keith Fullerton Whitman, Container and Clark, the 15-minute clip shows intriguing glimpses of the synths in action, in a massive multimedia dome housing 157 speakers called the Satosphere.The "dedicated and obsessive subculture" of modular synth fanatics across the world formed the inspiration for I Dream of Wires, said director Robert Fantinatto in an e-mail exchange with Wired. "Years ago, I made a small documentary film about the urban-exploration subculture called Echoes of Forgotten Places.... I felt that this whole world of modular synths could make an interesting little film."The project soon grew massively in size and ambition. Fantinatto joined forces with Jason Amm, better known as the electronic musician Solvent. With Amm as producer of the film, Fantinatto was able to reach a large number of well-known musicians."The trip to see Trent Reznor was probably the most nerve-wracking," said Fantinatto. "He lives way up on the top of a mountain in Beverly Hills and it [was] quite intimidating leading up to the interview, but Trent was supercool and had us all at ease very quickly."But the most jaw-dropping array of modular synth gear that Fantinatto and Amm uncovered didn't belong to Reznor or any of the other stars they profiled. The best collection, hands down, belonged to a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles."He had the most extensive collection of gear I've ever seen," said Fantinatto. "A huge studio with every modular synth ever made, literally every single one ever!"Fantinatto said he met many modular synth collectors who have "devoted a significant chunk of their lives [to] buying, building and collecting these machines that sometimes take over their homes and their lives.""The mystery behind what motivates this irrational obsession is at the heart of the film," Fantinatto said. "In the end, it is a longing for something authentic — something that has been lost in a virtualized world."
Made In Canada - Modcan & Intellijel: IDOW Extended Interview #5 I Dream of Wires 2013-02-08 | Canada holds a significant place in the history of electronic instrument development: from the ground-breaking inventions of Hugh Le Caine in the 1940s to the innovations at the University of Toronto's Electronic Music Lab in the 1960s. Recently, Canada has again come to play a significant role with the modern day resurgence of modular synthesizers; it is home to two highly respected manufacturers: Modcan, founded by Toronto's Bruce Duncan, was the first company to reintroduce modular synthesizers to the post-MIDI marketplace, and Intellijel, founded by Vancouver's Danjel Van Tijn, is one of the fastest growing and most respected lines of Eurorack synthesizer modules.

Richard Devine: IDOW Extended Interview #8 (Analog Voodoo Effect) I Dream of Wires 2013-02-08 | Richard Devine is an Atlanta-based electronic musician and sound designer. He is recognized for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences from hip-hop, to old and modern electronic music. Richard Devine has released records through such esteemed labels as Schematic and Warp Records, and is the creative force behind his own sound design company, Devine Sound. Though he has contributed sound design to a number of hardware and software manufacturers, he recently released his first official sample library through Sony Creative Software. Devine has also scored commercials for the likes of Nike and Touchstone Pictures. Since the late-90s, Richard Devine's sound has been synonymous with taking cutting-edge computer-based DSP (digital signal processing) to its limits. In recent years, however, Devine has also become a convert to the unlimited sonic capabilities and hands-on "analog voodoo effect" of the Eurorack modular format. I Dream of Wires spoke to Devine at NAMM 2012, which he attends annually. Judging by the studio footage on his Vimeo channel, and his wild enthusiasm on the subject, Devine is a bonafide Eurorack obsessive! All music and sound in this video is by Richard Devine.
