play loud! (live) music series

play loud! (live) music series

The “play loud! (live) music series“ is based on three precepts: Alan Lomax´s work as an archivist and chronicler, the BBC radio sessions, and the work of Direct Cinema pioneers, such as the Maysles Brothers, Leacock, Wildenhahn, Blank and Pennebacker.

play loud! aims to create an extensive archive of interesting popular music and culture that includes both material from the filmmakers' large amount of unreleased footage and material from other sources.

play loud!’s music films have been called raw, rough, canny, straightforward, adventurous, witty, insightful, direct, non-tricksy, minimal, unpretentious handheld camera work, artful film paintings, minimalist filmed paintings…

Some of the live performances are filmed with only one camera in one continuous shot and without any edits.

“When we film live shows, we don't use a TV style, but one that is very personal, intuitive and playful. Nothing is staged for the shoot. You go along with whatever happens.”

Streaming offers everyone- fans, researchers, journalists- the opportunity to access the archive and support the use of the material by others. Paying a small fee to view the material helps to cover the high costs of a private archive.

If there is great demand, some of the recordings will be made available on vinyl.

"Shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do." (Jonathan Demme)
