Great zoom interview with Andrew , Damo and Elke this week - Thanks : @EVENBUTTERLIESMAKEASOUND

Review By Andy Mcculoch below: 

 

Energy: A documentary about Damo Suzuki is a brilliant new film featuring the enigmatic, much-loved former CAN frontman. He is best known as the vocalist, between 1970 and 1973, of the seminal kosmische band. At this time, CAN was undoubtedly at its creative peak and Damo was the perfectly lithe, livewire frontman.

Energy: the film clearly demonstrates the power of love

 

Over five years, documentary maker Michelle Heighway filmed Damo and the ever-loving and supportive Elke Morsbach during a particularly difficult period. Damo was battling colon cancer and had 40 operations between 2014 and 2017. He also survived cancer in 1983.

The film documents this process, which to the onlooker can seem precarious at best. However, Damo remains utterly committed, unbowed, to his way of working.

 

Conclusion

 

Speaking of her inspiration, Michelle said: “Damo and I wanted to create a piece of work that inspired people. The documentary is a wonderful story of resilience and hope. It’s a personal portrait of the life and times of a nomad, poet and enigmatic singer on an incredible journey.”



Energy: A documentary about Damo Suzuki was featured in this year’s Doc’n Roll Festival.
