The Conformist
Wherever we find human beings, we find music - from the songs that surround us to the whisper-quiet melodies we hum to ourselves. Through Frank Denyer's delicate, intimate and enigmatic work, this film explores the mysteries of music. 'Some sounds are gates' looks at music in new ways. Wherever we find human beings, we find music, often in contexts far removed from formal concerts or recordings - from the music that surrounds us as we go about our daily lives to the whisper-quiet, almost unconscious melodies we hum to ourselves. Through Frank Denyer's delicate, intimate and sometimes enigmatic compositions, this film explores music's profound and enduring presence in human life. But music cannot simply be described, it must be heard. And music like this - acoustic, often hovering at the edge of audibility and played with unique instruments, many of which are rare or of the composer's own making - demands also to be seen. 'Some sounds are gates' takes Frank Denyer's music, the vision that sustains it and the insights it offers into the deepest mysteries of music itself to a global audience, bringing not just new music, but new hearing. —Suhail Merchant
