This 36’ minutes long documentary is about Yann Keller, Berlin based musician and multimedia artist. Radical by nature, Yann Keller is one of the last epigones of that Berlin scene once called ‘underground’ which nowadays appears to be sadly relegated as one of the late XX Century subcultural mythologies.
“Not available” is Yann’s most recurring reply, as a way to express his uncompromised attitude both in art and life.
Refusing any label, he plays self-made instruments and sophisticated sonic machines made out of found objects and every possible material. He likes to consider himself a free jazz musician playing a no-genre, capturing obscure electro waves as signals coming from different planets.
The documentary has been awarded as 'Best Experimental Short Film' at: Stockholm Festival, Santa Monica Festival, Dubai Festival, Santa Barbara Festival.
