Lo Sound Desert: Two Chapters on Desert Rock Music --- 2016-06-01

Documentary abot the Desert Rock Scene. With the same autonomy that was inherent to this scene, its story has been portrayed: Lo Sound Desert was self-financed for good reasons – above all to authentically reflect the scene’s own approach. This inevitably led to setbacks, financial bottlenecks and difficult research conditions. Now, after 10 years of production, the film is finally what it was intended to be – an intimate insight into a unique music scene, that is framed and coloured by a very unusual environment. When the production started in mid 2005 the term desert rock was rarely mentioned. It began with a music video shoot for a local band from Palm Desert, later it turned into the production of a short documentary, before it went full-length on a topic that had never been told before. In 2011 the main part of the documentary was shot in the Coachella Valley.
