The Heart is a Drum Machine: DVD release

What is music? Simple question, but hard to answer. The documentary The Heart is a Drum Machine collected the answers of, to name a few, Wayne Coyne, George Clinton, Kurt Loder, Jason Schwartzman, Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT, Britt Daniel of Spoon, and John Frusciante.

Director Christopher Pomerenke, who directed Moog in 2006, doesn't have a final answer. Which make perfect sense - it can't be done.

Screening:
  • 03/10 American Cinematheque
    6712 Hollywood Boulevard
    Los Angeles, CA 90028
    7:30pm

The Heart is a Drum Machine is released on DVD. Available on Netfix as of April 1.
