A Brief Synopsis
In the early 60s, a group of eccentric pioneering electronic musicians founded EMS (Electronic Music Studios) in London and changed the course of contemporary music forever. In the depths of their sound laboratory, they created music based on technology at a time when existing technology barely allowed such a conceptual leap. This documentary by Matthew Bate uses experimental techniques, animation, audiovisual collages and archival footage seen here for the first time ever.
