Modular Synth Documentary On Netflix

Documentary features talking head contributions from Factory Floor, Chris Carter and a number of other tQ faves

A documentary, called I Dream Of Wires, focusing on the modular synth is now streaming online through Netflix.

The film, which features interviews with various enthusiasts of the modular instrument such as Trent Reznor, Chris Carter, Gary Numan, Daniel Miller, Factory Floor and Carl Craig, is an independent production, directed by Robert Fantinatto, that charts the history of the modular synthesiser, and it has been edited from its original four-hour cut, as released on DVD last year, to a more digestible theatrical cut, which received its premiere in Berlin a couple of weeks ago. Get yourself to Netflix to give it a watch – if you’re not in the US, there are certain unblockers and browser add-ons you can use to access it – and check out the trailer for the documentary above.
