Eveniment provocat de Indiegen Events, cu sprijinul esential al Sony Music / Nova Music.

Dave Grohl debuteaza ca regizor de film documentar pentru a aduce un tribut studioului care i-a marcat viata, dar si pentru a semnala o schimbare riscanta in productia muzicala. De la Neil Young si Fleetwood Mac pana la Nine Inch Nails si Queens of The Stone Age, marii muzicieni povestesc cum acest studio de inregistrari le-a schimbat cariera muzicala, le-a schimbat viata. In Sound City veti viziona iterviuri si inregistrari pretioase cu muzicienii mari care au trecut prin legendarul studio de inregistrari in cei 40 de ani de activitate. Pana astazi, cand aportul uman in muzica devine ne-esential, fiind redus de invazia tehnologiei. Avem Pro Tools, auto tuning, copy & paste, oricine poate sa faca muzica fara sa stie sa cante la vreun instrument. Si atunci se poate spune ca studioul de inregistrari a devenit dispensabil muzicii ?

Studiourile de inregistrari au resimtit negativ acest trend. Multe au ramas fara clienti si s-au inchis. Legendarul Sound City din este unul dintre ele.

In toamna anului 2011, Dave Grohl cumpara un mixer de inregistari unic - consola Neve 8028, facuta la comanda pentru studioul Sound City, unde a fost folosita timp de 40 de ani pentru inregistrarea unor albume care au scris istorie muzicala. Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Guns and Roses, Metallica, NIN, Rage Against The Machine au inregistrat la Sound City. Pupitrul a fost construit in 1972 si este considerat de specialisti bijuteria coroanei echipamentului analogic de inregistrari.

Soundul mixerului Neve poate fi usor simulat pe computer acasa. Vrei reverbul unic pe tobe care iesea doar in camera cu acustica speciala? Foloseste un plug in. Pana la urma nici nu mai e nevoie sa stii sa bati la tobe, totul este "facubil" in fata computerului. Cam asta devine lumea muzicii, da, chiar si a muzicii rock. O lume in care nu mai e nevoie de tobosari, camere cu acustica buna, super mixere, muzicieni. Sound City nu a putut tine pasul cu era digitala asa ca in 2011 s-a inchis. Dupa 40 de ani in care acolo s-a facut istorie muzicala, s-au petrecut evenimente legendare si momente de magie"¦ totul s-a terminat. Au ramas amintiri si muzica.

As a first time director, my main intention with "Sound City" was not only to do justice to the incredible legacy of the studio, but to celebrate the human element of music, and to inspire the NEXT 40 years of musicians to find that magic within themselves. That feeling that I had sitting on my living room floor, listening to album after album, swimming in the history of music that came before me. That feeling that I had when I picked up a guitar for the first time and strummed the riff to "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple... without anyone showing me how! The realization that I could do this too. That music is human, and real, and beautiful in its imperfection and feel.

Dave Grohl



Dave Grohl este unul dintre marii muzicieni care au "pierdut" zile si nopti... si nopti in Sound City si care s-a atasat de studio si de echipa Sound City. Povestea personala a fostului tobosar Nirvana si a studioului Sound City incepe in primavara anului 1991 cand Grohl, Novoselic si Cobain isi iau practic casa in spinare si ajung in Van Nuyos, Los Angeles, California. Episodul Sound City ii va schimba viata lui Grohl si colegilor de trupa. Aici vor inregistra albumul Nevermind, care se vinde in peste 30 de milioane de exemplare in toata lumea.


Dave Grohl: those 16 days changed my life forever. "Nevermind" went on to sell 30 million copies, and Nirvana soon became a household name. That old, dilapidated studio, on the verge of closing when we'd recorded there, was suddenly given a new lease on life, and was catapulted into the 90's as the "best kept secret" in the rock scene. It was now the coolest studio in the world. Where, as one studio manager most eloquently described, "real men went to make records". Rage Against the Machine, Weezer, Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica... you name it, they all went there to capture that magic, and to get that "sound"... which really came down to two simple things: The legendary, one of a kind Neve 8028 analog recording console (custom ordered and built in 1973), and the drum room (which, despite having never been acoustically designed, some people considered to be the best sounding drum room in the world). It was a lethal combination. A no-brainer. For the next 15 years, their phones were ringing off the hook...And then digital took over."

Documentarul are o coloana sonora solida cu multe colaborari interesante intre Trent Reznor, Joshua Homme, Chris Goss, Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, Pat Smear, Dave Grohl si multi altii.
