The amplified sound of a controlled heartbeat, the screech of an electric cello played with ferocity, turntablism at its most extreme: these are the sounds of Tokyo’s world renowned avant-garde music scene. The film foregrounds six of Japan’s most innovative musicians who blur the lines between music and noise, thus forcing us to reconsider the art of sound. Their music is played out against the backdrop of a diverse, frenetically choreographed cityscape, from desolate junkyards and monolithic warehouse spaces, to overpopulated intersections. The audience can expect a total acoustic blow-out, while the poetic documentary itself adopts a highly accessible approach to examine the origins of some of the few stylistic principles which still have subversive potential today. A film which progressively reveals the seemingly insane as something quite lucid.
