808 - Directors Statement

Making a documentary about a drum machine, a piece of electronic equipment, is a real

challenge. It's inanimate, has no voice of its own and as a protagonist, is rather difficult to craft a

story around. 808 has really been a journey of discovery for me. Over the course of around two

years, the team and I met over 50 musicians and artists with the intention of telling the story of

the Roland TR-808 drum machine through the music that featured its iconic sounds.

Those artists and musicians are the real protagonists of the film. The 808 was the

machine to enable their creativity through its odd sounding, electronically produced drum sounds.

It didn’t sound anything like real drums, but in their hands, it would change music forever.

Working with music producer Arthur Baker as part of the production team, I had an entry point for

the story, Planet Rock, a seminal track he produced with Afrika Bambaataa in the early 80s which

was one of the first globally influential music tracks that would use the 808 and a key piece of

music in the emergence of hip hop as a genre.

But the enormity of the task was then how to tell the rest of the story. Delving into the 30-

year history of the 808, its sound has touched so many great pieces of music and defined so

many genres. So 808 is very much about the experiential as well as the factual. About the people

we met and the tales we heard along the way, letting the story unfold as organically as possible. It

was really important to me to keep the integrity of their stories and uncover the relevant music

along the way. It was then a massive challenge to bring this seamlessly together as one in the

edit.

By no means is this meant to be the definitive story of the 808; it has touched far too

many people and reached too far into music, so that's the beauty of it. This film represents a

cross section of stories from its life so far, how it influenced artists, the sounds that they created

together, the iconic music they recorded and the history they were all part of. The amazing thing

about the 808 is that its sound lives on, it's everywhere, especially now. It has transgressed both

genre and time. It’s retro but futuristic. It's been more important to music than just a piece of

inanimate electronic equipment. It has a life of its own.

- Alexander Dunn

Q&A WITH DIRECTOR ALEXANDER DUNN

What was the inspiration behind filming 808?

808 originally came from a discussion between Arthur Baker and Alex Noyer while

discussing another potential project. The subject turned to “Planet Rock” being thirty years old

and of course, the 808’s role in that story. Once it was mentioned to me as a possible project and

we started developing the idea, it was very obvious the legacy the 808 had left within music. We

knew it would be a fantastic journey to embark on. 

“Planet Rock” was a perfect entry point for the documentary. It was really the song that

brought the 808 to prominence and was, of course, an extremely influential track in the

development of hip-hop and electronic music in general. The film then grew from there and

allowed me to build a journey of the 808’s sound and influence through music.

Can you discuss the process of interviewing some of the most influential subjects in musical history for the film?

We were extremely lucky to get so many great artists involved in the film. Arthur Baker

did a great job getting some amazing artists to take part. Credit also goes out to my colleague

and co-producer on this project, Matt Jarman, who managed to get Phil Collins involved. Phil

provides a really interesting angle on the 808 we otherwise wouldn't have had. 

Managing to get such a cross section of artists with such a wealth of experience has

meant this project has really been able to develop into what it is today. The artists themselves

had so many amazing stories and experiences to share, all defined by the 808. I think the most

amazing thing is that most of these conversations could have carried on all day. Everyone had so

much to say about the 808, and the music it was part of. I think it's pretty amazing that this

machine can create such wide-ranging discussions with so many great artists.

In your own words, describe what your film is about?

808 is a film about what is arguably the most iconic drum machine that has ever existed

and how it became synonymous with electronic music almost by accident. It’s about the artists

and producers who stumbled upon it, used it, experimented with it and created iconic music with

its unique sounds. The 808 have headed many musical movements, and the film explores the

stories and experiences of the artists at the forefront of those movements. And, of course, the

music plays a huge part in the film offering a fantastic soundtrack to their experiences.

As a first time director, what were the challenges you faced?

It’s such a huge subject matter to explore, and you have to know when to say enough is

enough. That was probably the most difficult thing, working within limitations of time, budget and

then forcing ourselves to stop shooting! We conducting around 55 interviews in total, spread over

the course of three years, and we could have easily done this again…. and again, almost

indefinitely. 

The 808 is part of so many musical genres and so many artists used it. I had to take a

cross section, peer in and grab hold of the essence of the story and the journey that it took

through the eyes of the contributors we met. I had to refine all that information down into a feature

length film. That was hard as we had so much great interview footage, and I had to manage that

down to a consumable length for a feature film. 

I know we’ll probably get a lot of questions, like why didn’t you feature this artist or that

artist. Certainly, there are people who I’d have loved to feature in the film that we couldn’t get

around to interviewing for various reasons. However, I think this is really interesting. I’d love the

film to be the starting point for more conversations about the 808. I hope it is something that gets

people to investigate further and experience more of the music it played a huge part of.

How does it feel to showcase your film at SXSW Film Festival?

 The opportunity to have the film premiere at SXSW is a really fantastic opportunity for

us. It really seems like the perfect place for a documentary that sits bang in the middle of this

convergence of film, music and technology. The team and I are all really happy to be taking part

of the festival. It's also a great opportunity to meet new people and discuss some of the exciting

new projects we currently have in development. 

Why do you feel it is important to share the history of the 808?

The 808 has been a prime example of how an instrument can be created with a particular

purpose in mind, only for that purpose to be completely overlooked by its end users. Those end

users instead took it on a completely different, revolutionary journey. It has permeated so many

musical genres, left an indelible mark on culture, inspired countless musicians and continues to

be as relevant today as it was thirty years ago. Plus, it’s retro-futuristic sounds are just plain

awesome.

Q&A WITH PRODUCER ALEX NOYER

How did you get involved with the project?

I am proud to say I started it. After a fun and inspired tapas lunch with Arthur Baker, our

music discussions lead me to decide that the 808 was going to be the topic of my next film. So, I

spoke some more with Arthur, got him on board along with Alex Dunn, and we started this 3-year-

journey. From then on, I got the initial production funded, and we started in Miami at WMC in

2012 to see if we really had a film. Today, we can call that an inspired decision.

Describe the collaboration process between your team and director Alexander Dunn?

Alex has been my long time friend and business partner for the last 10 years. His

influence and skill in editorial and post-production at You Know along with his personal affinity

with the topic made it a perfect opportunity for him to take the directorial reigns. He is a very

meticulous and thorough individual. Taking this large amount of personal accounts (55+

interviews) and turning them into the film that we see now was no small achievement. 

We are not just 2 namesakes. Our partnership has allowed us to always be creatively

ambitious, and this project is an important landmark in this ambition being fulfilled. Being a

producer himself, he also understood all imperatives and when the production needed to be

completed. That made the whole process very effective.

 How much preparation and research did you have to do before production started?

There were multiple talks, a lot of music listened to and all of us had different

perspectives and music tastes to draw from. After that, we also let ourselves be guided by the

interviews that in turn called for more research to back points made. Arthur Baker’s experience

and legacy in relation of the 808 was very valuable as well as Luke Bainbridge's music journalism

track record. We went where the memories of our contributors took us, and I would say the most

thorough work came when it was time to piece it together into a film.

Why do you feel it is important to share the history of the 808?

30 years of hip-hop and electronic music that can be tracked back to this evanescent

drum machine. These are sounds that are still used today across the musical spectrum, and the

fact that icons still refer to its influence means that the 808 needed its legacy celebrated. 

What were some of the challenges you faced when trying to secure the various subjects for the film?

Arthur did a fantastic job getting great people in front of our cameras. Challenges of time

and travel were there, but I would say that despite our limited budget, we really made the most

out of each location and opportunity with hardly any waste. Then, Matt Jarman managed to get us

some time with Phil Collins and Atlantic added none other than the Beastie Boys to round up all

our efforts. We have been blessed with favorable conditions of people being in the right spot at

the right time, and the challenge for me was to back the opportunities with resources and time.

Our motivation was high, and I am delighted to say that we all filled our roles to meet and match

the challenge to deliver this film today.

Can you describe your first encounter with 808 creator and Roland Corporation founder Ikutaro Kakehashi?

I unfortunately did not get to go as I was finishing the Los Angeles leg of the shoot, but

we sent Arthur Baker, along with Matt Jarman and Stuart Birchall, and they all came back feeling

humbled by the way they were welcomed by Roland. The conversation between Arthur and Mr.

Kakehashi revealed a very important secret regarding the history of the 808, and we are

extremely grateful for his time. He gave us the prefect way to round up our film. I am due to go

pay them a visit in the very near future, and I very much hope to get to thank Mr. K in person.

About the Filmmakers

ALEXANDER DUNN, Co-Writer/Director/Producer/Editor

Alexander Dunn is a filmmaker based in London, UK, working in film, television and

advertising as a director, producer and editor for over a decade. 808 is his first documentary

feature as a director, having previously created film and programming for a number of clients and

broadcasters including Sky Television, PBS and MTV. Alexander has brought a wide production

knowledge and storytelling skills to 808 as well as a passion for music.

Born in Birmingham, England, during his school years, Alexander first encountered dance

music, but being too young for the clubs, spent his time listening to mix tapes and honing his DJ

skills on old belt driven turntables. He moved to Cornwall at 16 where he developed his interest in

music further, playing at clubs in the area and spending all his spare money on vinyl. At this time,

he also began his journey into film production whilst studying at college.

Following a move to the Hertfordshire to study film production where he would direct a

number of short films, Alexander worked for a brief stint at CNBC Europe where, amongst other

programming, he worked on the feature length documentary THE POWER OF FLIGHT. Following

this in 2004, Alexander co-founded production company You Know with Alex Noyer, producing

content for a variety of clients as well as the documentaries A CONVERSATION WITH JULIAN

SCHNABEL, NEW YORK INFLUENCE CITY and a slate of music videos.

Over the years, he has worked as a director, producer and editor for a number of clients

and collaborators including Ubuntu, Nokia, Casio, Jagermeister, Sony, The House of

Marley, Diesel and many more. He is currently in development on a number of documentary

projects to follow 808 as well as developing his first drama feature.

ALEX NOYER, Producer/Executive Producer

Paris-born producer is the driving force behind 808, the feature documentary that traces

the story of the Roland TR808 from the creation of Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock” to the

dynamic drum machine’s influence on hip hop and modern dance culture, through its continued

use today.  Raised in a French-Finnish art and media world, Noyer studied advertising at the

University of Hertfordshire and subsequently worked for CNBC Europe. In 2004, alongside

Alexander Dunn, Noyer co-founded You Know, an innovative creative solutions agency with a

special focus on film and video. The agency’s early work included the development and creation

of marketing content for L’Oreal, Durex and Jägermeister.  In 2007, Noyer expanded his digital

reach by opening and growing the UK branch of the Finnish agency Activeark.

In 2008, he wrote and produced a project that merged two of his primary interests – film

and art. A CONVERSATION WITH JULIAN SCHNABEL, a short documentary for the artist’s

retrospective at Helsinki’s Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art and Galerie Forsblom, screened

at Art Basel (Switzerland) and major museums and galleries throughout the world.  In 2009, he

served as executive producer on Stuart Birchall’s BURNING, an educational short film about a

young girl’s struggle with bulimia.

The artist documentaries led Noyer to produce and write NEW YORK INFLUENCE CITY

(2011), his first feature length film. NEW YORK INFLUENCE CITY’s key participants include

Ross Bleckner, Ann Craven, Peter Halley, Donald Sultan, Ryan McGinness, Jacob Hashimoto,

Tony Oursler and Eric Freeman. In 2014, Noyer expanded his film operations, opening You Know

Films in Los Angeles. Noyer resides in Los Angeles with his family.

CRAIG KALLMAN, Producer

Craig Kallman carries on the entrepreneurial tradition that has driven Atlantic Records

since its founding by Ahmet Ertegun over 65 years ago, and is embodied in the careers of such

fellow Atlantic producer/executives as Jerry Wexler, Nesuhi Ertegun, and Doug Morris. Craig

joined Atlantic in 1991, when the company acquired his independent Big Beat Records label.

Advancing through the executive ranks, the New York-born Kallman was named Chairman/CEO

of the Atlantic Records Group in 2005.

Just four years after Craig started Big Beat after college, his success prompted Atlantic to

acquire the label and bring Craig into the company. He came on board as Vice

President/Assistant to then Co-Chairman Doug Morris. Advancing to Executive Vice President,

Kallman began to oversee Atlantic's entire A&R operation. His roster of trailblazing artists grew to

include Aaliyah (whose Atlantic debut introduced producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott to the

pop top 10); Brandy; Notorious B.I.G.'s rap clan Junior M.A.F.I.A., featuring Lil' Kim; and hard

rockers Stone Temple Pilots and P.O.D.

Over the past decade, Kallman has continued to drive Atlantic’s recruitment of a rich

diversity of high-profile artists, among them Bruno Mars, Death Cab For Cutie, James Blunt, Ed

Sheeran, Jason Mraz (via Atlantic’s 2004 merger with Elektra), Trey Songz, Lupe Fiasco, Flo

Rida, Zac Brown Band, Gnarls Barkley, B.o.B, Skrillex (via Kallman’s re-launched Big Beat label),

Paolo Nutini, Janelle Monae, Wiz Khalifa, Skillet, Halestorm, Jaheim, Christina Perri, Hunter

Hayes, Straight No Chaser, and many others. Kallman also spearheaded one of the music

industry’s pioneering 360 deals, partnering with punk-pop band Paramore. In 2010, Craig re-

launched his Big Beat label which has had tremendous success with artists like Grammy winners

Skrillex and Clean Bandit, Icona Pop, and Martin Solveig, to name a few.

Over the past two decades, Craig has championed Atlantic’s involvement in the film and

TV soundtrack world, beginning with the 1996 smash SPACE JAM soundtrack, on which he

served as Executive Producer. Most recently, Atlantic has released Grammy-nominated

soundtracks for the TWILIGHT movie series – which produced an unprecedented two

consecutive #1 albums, and HBO’s acclaimed TRUE BLOOD and BOARDWALK EMPIRE series.

The newly established Atlantic Films is co-producing the documentary film 808, which chronicles

the story of the influential Roland TR-808 drum machine, with a soundtrack on Big Beat/Atlantic.

100 years to the day that the 1913 Alpenfahrt finished. The faithful re-enactment celebrated the

seminal 1913 Trials, a test of endurance that saw the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost cement its

reputation for faultless reliability, thus, establishing the legend of the ‘Best Car in the World’.

After SPIRIT OF THE ALPINE, Matt joined You Know as a producer before becoming
