Feb. 6: The Heart Is a Drum Machine Makes Film Debut
Dec 22, 2008 3:52 PM
The Heart Is a Drum Machine, the much-anticipated documentary that explores
the complex and critical relationship between humanity and music, is all set to
make its debut.
The film, directed by
Christopher Pomerenke, explores music's role in shaping human history, the
profound connection people have had to music throughout human history, how it
has shaped our experiences, and its involvement in our daily lives. Tackling
the topic is a who's-who of musicians, including George Clinton, Tool's Maynard
James Keenan, Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante, and Phoenix native Jim
Adkins of Jimmy Eat World. Also appearing are a plethora of music historians
and writers such as MTV's Kurt Loder and KCRW's Nic Harcourt, and scientists
including Carl Sagan's widow Ann Druyan (discussing the "Golden
Record"). The Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd created an original score for the
film as well as covering Elton John's "Rocket Man."
The Heart Is a Drum Machine will premiere at the Phoenix Art Museum as part of
their ongoing No Festival Required series on Feb. 6 at 8 p.m., and a cocktail
party will follow the screening. Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased
online at www.phxart.org or at the Museum's Visitors Desk in Phoenix.
More screenings for 2009
will be announced shortly.
