The Golden Record

More than 40 years after the launch of the Golden Record upon NASA’s Voyager Spacecraft in 1977, this film aims to explore the 27 TRACKS of world music through the cinematic lens. Each song will be documented as a live musical performance, interpreted by contemporary musicians of the respective musical tradition and located in the place of origin of the song. This film will feature these contemporary musicians from around the globe as spoke-people for their musical tradition, guiding the viewer through each song's history & cultural significance. The voices weave together to create a universal narrative for music as the visual performances ignite our senses and take us deeper into the corners of our Earth.
