Paul Kalkbrenner, the Berlin techno producer known for tracks like "Sky and Sand," tours through Europe with a camera following him from soundcheck to stage to the next flight. The film sticks close to the mechanics of touring: hotel rooms, backstage waiting, the crew assembling gear before a set, and the crowd noise once the show actually starts. Kalkbrenner talks about the grind of playing night after night and what it costs him physically, rather than performing a polished artist statement for the camera. There is little narration or outside commentary; the film relies on observational footage of the road and the performances themselves to make its case about what a touring electronic musician's life actually looks like. Released in December 2010 through Paul Kalkbrenner Musik and Rough Trade, it plays as a document of one specific stretch of his career rather than a full biography, built from the tour rather than around it.
