THE SOUND OF TOYS is a film about how Casio keyboards sparked a digital music revolution in the 1980s weaving together personal stories of amateur and professional musicians to show how these affordable instruments sparked a global digital music revolution that still reverberates today. It charts the story of the far-reaching influence of these affordable consumer instruments, both beloved and dismissed as cheesy toys. Through its interlocking narrative spanning decades and cultures, the film is also a re-examination of the history of popular music, its folklore and the global exchange of ideas between musicians and technicians. While the story is propelled by the often overlooked Casio keyboard - an important cultural touchstone that's hidden in plain sight - the film ultimately asks why we as humans make music at all, novice and professional musicians alike.—Sunset People
