MODULATIONS traces the evolution of Electronica music as one of the most profound artistic developments of the 20th century! By cutting back and forth between avante garde composers, kraftwerk?s innovative synthesizer drones, giorgio moroder?s glacial eur

An extraordinary compendium of electronic music

"Modulations" is truly the most complete electronic music DVD documentary released as of 2007. Any fan of electronic music will recognize at least some (if not all) of the artists featured.
I can't think of any other film (with the exception of the rave oriented "Better Living Through Circuitry") that features such a compendium of electronic music pioneers, including instrument makers, composers, DJs, producers.. Autechre, Robert Moog, Moby, Q-bert, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Squarepusher, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Carl Cox, O Yuki Conjugate, Scanner, Oval, Genesis P Orridge, George Moroder, DJ Spooky, Bill Laswell and many others are all here.

Notably missing from the film are Aphex Twin, Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, although Eno and Kraftwerk are quoted and mentioned throughout the film.

I am sure that the quantity of interview footage posed a problem for the producers and editors of this film, so everything is tightly edited to keep this movie from becoming another boring academic documentary with voice overs, (which i am sure it was something the producers and director wanted to avoid)

I wish this movie would have been made a lot longer, or more extra footage made available on the DVD, maybe a more structured editing approach would have made this movie a little less chaotic, but this still doesn't detract from the breadth and scope of this truly remarkable film.

This DVD is a must for anyone interested in electronic music, rave and DJ culture.

Movie Provides A Great History of Electronic Music

I found this video very helpful in examining the history of electronic music. Many of the electronic music styles such as House, Techno, Trance, Ambient, and Trip Hop were the focus of this video. The video examined the history of the disco era and psychedelic music's contributions to the styles listed above. Many of the most established and recognized electro artists appeared such as DJ Spooky, Squarepusher, Kraftwerk, Afrika Bambaataa, Moby, Derrick May, Brian Eno, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Carl Cox, TG's Genesis Porridge, and Giorgio Moroder Chicory Tip. In the historical references much credit is given to the classical composer John Cage and Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer as well as Miles Davis. There is discussion of the Moog synthesizer and its influence in electronic music. I learned a lot of new information about the origins of electronic music, its sources, its inspirations, and what its pioneers have achieved and their ideas for the future of music.
