Documentary: Electric rhythm. The history of drum machine

A educational film about the evolution of drum machines: from giant to pocket grooveboxes; from the rattlers of the 50s to the boom-boom of the late 80s. Tape, analog, sampling, and digital—the film explains how everything developed, who used them and what they were used for. It was made on the occasion of the sale of a huge collection of Moby’s analog drum machines on the Reverb website, where they buy and sell new and used musical instruments. So all the models shown there are his, though already sold.
