more on the topic


And, being a completely independent film, no one told us how or what to do! Me and my crew of under 20 people did it OUR way. It was like a keg party with a camera. WE got to tell the story of a place we all held so dear. WE wanted to do it justice. And I think we did.

The film is an exhilarating exploration of the creative process. Grohl has secured exceptional access to musicians normally secretive about their working methods. The biggest coup was a session with Paul McCartney. Describing his entry to the studio, the film’s cinematographer Kenny Stoff said, “there was a tangible electricity in the air and it was all I could do not to just freak out. Here I was in the same room as Nirvana and The Beatles. Heavy!”

 Sound City is a studio rat’s wet dream, devoting ecstatic passages to the studio’s analog funk and the richness of its drum sound, and especially its custom Neve recording console; it’s the first movie I’ve ever seen devote beauty shots to a sound board.
