Echo of Everything

A well researched and well made documentary about how music works and the history of music. Does not fall off for even a single scene. Great story telling, really amazing writing and of course good music.

We follow the director's journey to "understand" music, a fascinating journey, complete with the surreal black & white scenes in between.

The most engaging and important part was that it doesn't only looks at music scientifically but looks at the nested socio-historical context around it. It draws from multiple different perspectives, not overly relying on one method.

The writing was really strong as well. A compilation of some of the lines would make a nice little book!

Must watch for all music heads and people interested in knowing about history and how stuff works. A great watch for cinema students too to learn about story telling and sequencing.
