The Sound of Toys
THE SOUND OF TOYS documents the digital music revolution sparked by Casio keyboards in the 1980s. Weaving together personal stories of amateur and professional musicians, the film charts the far-reaching influence of these affordable consumer instruments, both beloved and dismissed as cheesy toys. Through its interlocking narrative spanning decades and cultures, the documentary also re-examines the history of popular music, its folklore, and the global exchange of ideas between musicians and technicians.
