The Heart Is A Drum Machine is set to be premiered in Phoenix on 06th February 2009, with more screenings to be announced shortly. Here’s the news from Pluginmusic. You can also find more details about this documentary on its IMDB page.
The Heart is a Drum Machine,†the eagerly awaited documentary that explores the complex and critical relationship between humanity and music, will premiere at Phoenix Art Museum as part of their ongoing No Festival Required series on February 6 at 8 pm followed by a cocktail party. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 12 and can be purchased online at Phxart.org or at the Museum’s Visitors Desk.
The film, directed by Christopher Pomerenke and produced by Ryan Page, Joe Mundo and Hans Fjellestad of ZU33 Pictures and responsible for 2006’s Moog documentary, explores music’s role in shaping human history, the profound connection people have had to music throughout human history, how it has shaped our experiences and its involvement in our daily lives. Tackling the topic is a who’s who of musicians including George Clinton, Tool’s Maynard James Keenan, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Frusciante and Phoenix native Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World), music historians and writers such as MTV’s Kurt Loder and KCRW’s Nic Harcourt as well as scientists including Carl Sagan’s widow Ann Druyan (discussing the “Golden Recordâ€).
The Flaming Lips’ Steven Drozd created an original score for the film as well as covering Elton John’s “Rocket Man†with vocals from the aforementioned Keenan.
