Synopsis
If the expression¡®, one man band¡¯, often recalled a shabby tone-deaf street artist with a drum on their back and cymbals attached to their knees, it now refers to musicians who create the most diverse and dynamic music. This documentary follows a¡®one¡¯man or woman band who works in Europe and US. Such artists who worked on films including Man From Uranus, Ninki V and Honkeyfinger have every reason to be this ¡®one man in the band¡¯as it may be that they cannot find a drummer, or they simply want to create more raw and vibrant tunes. Whatever the case is, the common ground is they have a passion in music that enables them to stand on their own. Their music achievements also shine through the inventions of innovative musical instruments from Theremin Rock, a musical instrument born in the 1920¡¯s USSR, Hornicator, an instrument made of parts from a phonograph to an accompaniment instrument made from bicycle tires, there are quite a number of instruments that create unique sounds. Perhaps the¡®one man band¡¯is a musical expression that truly represents a modern society becoming more and more individualized. (Chun Jin-su)
