SXSW Preview: Hot Sugar’s Cold World
2015/03/13

The new documentary, premiering March 16 at SXSW, follows producer Nick Koenig’s search for sound.  Your first look is here.

Nick Koenig is always listening. In his hands, the sound of the wind over a gravestone becomes something like a hook. Underneath each song, you can hear the sample: a dollhouse burning, a girl blowing out candles, the air leaving the room. Koenig’s search for environmental music has taken him around the world and back. Documentary filmmaker Adam Bhala Lough went with him.

Hot Sugar’s Cold World, directed by Adam Bhala Lough and executive produced by David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, and Danny McBride, follows Koenig’s quest to sample and reshape the sonic world that surrounds us. The documentary premieres at SXSW on Monday, March 16th as part of the 24 Beats Per Second music film series. Your first look is here.

The world around is wild and alive with sound. Koenig never forgets that. It goes without saying that we shouldn’t, either.
