How Sound Crew Spent 18 Months Turning Bowie's 'Moonage Daydream' Into Immersive 'Fever Dream of Sound and Vision'
Variety: Brett Morgen’s “Moonage Daydream,” a freewheeling documentary about David Bowie, doesn’t offer a chronology of the life of the late pop icon. Rather it provides a fever dream of sound and vision, with songs torn apart, reimagined and reassembled in ways that reflect its subject’s chameleonic music and art.

As someone who is a big fan of David Bowie and is rather excited to see this movie this was a fun article to read. The fact that it took about four years to edit the movie together is kind of wild. Then they had eighteen months on top of that to put together the sound. That really shows how invested the makers of the film were in getting everything exactly how they wanted it. Knowing that they spent so much time just on the sound, with pulling apart and reconstructing Bowie's songs and interviews, I will be sure to pay more attention to the sound than usual when watching this movie. It is also pretty interesting to be able to hear about what the initial image was for the documentary and how the director wanted the documentary to make the viewers feel.
