CAN and Me plot
"Silence turns into music"
What does 'sound' mean? What does 'silence' mean? CAN and Me is a portrait of the life and work of Irmin Schmidt, founder of the German band CAN, whose individual style has shaped generations of musicians in pop and electronic music. The film follows Schmidt's journey from classical conductor to student of well-known composers Karl-Heinz Stockhausen and György Ligeti, from CAN, his work on film scores and opera to ultimately his love for electronic club music. The film shows images from an era that is now considered colorful and eccentric, especially because of the musical adventures it features.
