How can one represent a city on film using an inter-disciplinary approach based on sounds? Andrew Standen-Raz’s movie Vinyl deals with the topic how to “view” a city through its sounds, mediated sounds created by musicians as well as mediated and free sounds created by speech, transportation, random sounds, and other forms of communication. Vinyl explicitly explores the creative methods and cultural influences of musicians and how their own relationship to the city of Vienna affected their music and their sense of self. Many of them are part of the klingt.org community of sound artists, experimenting with anything and everything to communicate through sounds.
