I DREAM OF WIRES: THE MODULAR SYNTHESIZER DOCUMENTARY is a documentary film about the history and resurgence of modular synthesizers. The film, directed by Robert Fantinatto, is currently in production.

I DREAM OF WIRES will take you on a journey into the obscure, but highly influential world of modular synthesizers. Learn how it revolutionized music from the pioneers that were there, why it quickly became obsolete, and how it has become all the rage again. Our aim is to create a definitive document on the modular synthesizer revival, a 21st century phenomena that continues to mutate and grow, surely one of the most exciting areas of contemporary electronic music design and creation. Please watch the promotional trailer and see some of the amazing people we've already interviewed; and that's just the beginning...

I DREAM OF WIRES started off as a modest exploration of the passion and obsession of a few designers, manufacturers, collectors and musicians, but interest in the film has convinced us that there is a demand for a comprehensive documentary that will explore, both geographically and thematically, the wide ranging influence of the modular synthesizer. Response to the film's in-progress promotional trailer, posted to YouTube in September 2011, has been overwhelming enthusiastic, sometimes verging on fanatical! Synthesizer forums have been abuzz with commentary, and the most common response has been people suggesting who must be interviewed, that there needs to be more. The modular synthesizer community has responded to the quality of the trailer, and are now determined that this project is destined to be the ultimate modular synthesizer documentary.

Although the film will be roughly 90-120 minutes, we will be looking for fun and innovative ways to create and share extended interviews and bonus features. This Vimeo channel will be one of the outlets for those pieces, so expect more content to be added to this channel periodically.

If you are interested in helping us with the production of I DREAM OF WIRES, we have created an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign, where you can pre-order DVDs, soundtrack CD/LPs, T-Shirts, and more. If you do intend to buy the DVD when it comes out, there is really no reason not to contribute to the film now; your contribution is essentially a DVD pre-order, and your advance contribution will help to make I DREAM OF WIRES into a better documentary:
