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: SYNTH GOD
Filmmaker/musician Hans Fjellestad is set to write and direct the film, which heads into production in July 2006.
In Fjellestad's words: "Over the past 50 years, keyboardists and composers have used the synthesizer to stake out new territory in music, filling our heads with all kinds of unexpected sounds and ideas. These are the Synth Gods. Their pantheon is massive and full of all shapes, sounds and flavors. There are the heroes and legendary figures – which of course we are already working with – but I'm certain there are also hoards of strange and undiscovered deities out there and we intend to include all of it in this film. I want to paint a huge crazy mural about every Synth God species on the planet, and the instrument that gives them their power."
Producer Ryan Page adds: "The support from the music community has been amazing. There are so many people who have already stepped up to participate behind the camera and in front of it. This project is shaping up to be something more comprehensive and huge than any doc we've made to date."
Call for Submissions:
"Combing the planet for Synth Gods is no small task. We need your help. If you are a synthesizer player who deserves to be considered for the Synth God pantheon, let us know! We want to see all those virtuosi and über-creative synth-heads out there whose fingers are flying under the radar. The more strange and original, the better. We want you to bend our minds and be included in the film" the ZU33 website states.
