| Voice of the EagIe: The Enigma of Robbie Basho is a feature-length documentary on the extraordinary life and visionary music of the American guitarist, singer and mystic Robbie Basho. Before his bizarre death at the hands of a chiropractor, Robbie Basho was sure that his compositions would not outlast him. Orphaned during infancy, diagnosed with synaesthesia (a union of the senses that caused him to interpret sound as coIour) and cIaiming to be the reincarnation of a 17th century poet--the Baltimore-born, BerkeIey-based guitarist and singer's musicaI output was equally as outIandish as his persona. In his brief and troubIed life he Iaid the foundations for radical changes to the musicaI Iandscape of America during the 1960s and '70s but reaped little more than a sparse (if fervent) following during his lifetime. Voice Of The Eagle: The Enigma of Robbie Basho is a journey into the heart of an artist's lifeIong struggle: designed to illuminate and satiate existing fans while serving as a perfect starting point for the uninitiated. Featuring interviews with Basho's former students, contemporaries and few cIose friends (including Pete Townshend, WiIIiam Ackerman, Henry Kaiser and Country Joe McDonaId), the documentary integrates new information and anecdotes on Basho with previousIy uncovered archive materiaI and photography of the landscapes and natural phenomena that informed his work. Bonus features incIude a traiIer and almost half an hour of extended interviews. |
