    Can a sound effect change the world?

    Since the dawn of the electrical age, we’ve lived alongside the sound of distortion. It’s the hiss of
    TV static, the harsh crackle of a speaker pushed too loud. However, what happens when this glitch,
    a signifier of the broken and the wrong, becomes part of popular music?

    Fuzz flung open the door for rule breakers and rebels. It was a sonic weapon that could stimulate
    powerful emotions, whip audiences into a frenzy and spark rebellion.

    Starting on a highway in 1950s America, music journalist John Robb will follow fuzz through time,
    calling on philosophy and science to uncover the secrets of this sound. He will stop off at the
    magical moments of accident and destruction that allowed the sound to evolve and spread.
    Including a rare demonstration from rock and roll icon Dave Davies on how he crafted the iconic
    guitar distortion on You Really Got Me.

    Interviews with Jerry Phillips, Toby Young, Dave Davies, Mathilde Massenet, Greg Bryant, Ant
    Macari and Matthew Worley

  3. Enjoy this #music #documentary #film about my #fave #PunkRock #band - #TheDescendents / ALL. My best friend in high school was heavily into the punk/skate scenes & introduced them to me in 1991. I immediately fell in love with their music. It influenced a lot of my teen & young adult years.

  4. What a phenomenal bit of film making Questlove's #SummerOfSoul is! The music and the footage of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival is incredible and such an injustice that it's only resurfaced in the last few years. The way that Questlove has intertwined the news stories and politics with the performances works so well! #filmscores #MusicDocumentary
