Imagine acordar amanhã de manhã e toda a música tiver desaparecido. Simples assim. O que vai permanecer quando tudo estiver sumido: CDs, iPods, instrumentos? Bill Drummond, o homem que junto com The KLF conquistou o mundo pop, nos mostra. Um espírito anarquista, um eterno punk, que agora lidera o maior coral do mundo, o The 17, uma reunião de amadores que muda a todo momento, que não tem partituras ou ensaios. Drummond encontra as vozes para seu coral em campos abertos, fábricas, salas de aula, pubs.

What Swiss director Stefan Schweitert did for accordion music and for yodeling (Accordion Tribe, Cinequest, 2005; Echoes of Home, Cinequest 2008) he now does for traditional Balkan music. This wonderful film is also a love story – and a door into a world of musical wonders.

What does a baby's cry have in common with the echo of a mountain yodler, and what connects the head tone of a Tuvin nomad with the stage show of a vocal artist? The answer is: THE VOICE. Against a background of powerful alpine vistas and modern city landscapes, "heimatklänge" enters the wondrous sonic world of three exceptional Swiss vocal artists. Their universe of sound extends far beyond what we would describe as singing. In their engagement with local and foreign traditions, the powerful mountain landscape becomes a stage as do the landscapes and sonic backdrops of modern life.
