I think Hawtin has had a great career- he's definitely done a lot. However, I think a documentary would be more suitable 10 years down the line. Hawtin is a bi-product of his own creativity and the creativity that was happening around him at the time. I hope this is mentioned in the film.Perhaps the important questions is whether Hawtin himself considers himself more Canadian/Detroit or British/European at this point. Detroit seems to be his glory ghost.
For me personally, I think a documentary that draws parallels b/t Detroit's up and down economy & racial history and the creation/rise/fall etc. its music scene (both bands and electronic music) would be far more interesting, and perhaps appropriate. Or even perhaps a doc about the back and forth influences b/t Detroit and Windsor. d --------------------------------- The best part of the trailer is Derrick's quote. One thing about Derrick, he always seems to call it like it is. Always calling it like it is has probably gotten people in the D mad at Derrick too :) Cheers! --------------------------------- From: "Blaauw, Martijn de " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Subject: (313) Hawtin Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 16:56:26 +0200 >Wanna see Hawtin make some tea??
