VINYL (TALES FROM
THE VIENNA UNDERGROUND)
Andrew Standen-Raz
Vinyl (Tales from the Vienna Underground) is the first feature-length documentary to reveal
the interconnected world of experimental, trash and electronic musicians in Vienna,
and how the artists in this historically unique space interpret which sounds make music
in very different ways. Vinyl is also partly a love letter to a cultural icon – vinyl records –
which have been a part of so many people’s lives for decades, and which persist in the future
of music creation and distribution, despite the pervasiveness of digital technology. In
this film, vinyl is a metaphor for something we love, even for its imperfections and
scratches, and so it is with these musicians’ love-hate relationship with their city. Some
things must change, but some things will be important forever.
