The first comprehensive documentary film portrait of techno’s most restless innovator! Parameter is the first comprehensive documentary film portrait of Stefan Goldmann. The way his music takes from his studio to the club is traced with rare insights into the premises of Berlin electronic music institutions such as the Hard Wax record store and the D&M mastering studio. In-depth interviews shot in an unidentified scenery of derelict ruins illuminate the principles of his work.

Biography: Stefan Goldmann develops conceptual art music that is almost entirely derived from the core features and formats of techno and house: track, remix, sample, edit and loop are stretched to their limits, revealing their essence. He has been responsible for some of techno’s most memorable tracks of recent years, including The Maze, Sleepy Hollow and Lunatic Fringe. His Macro label has been named “the world’s leading avant-techno label” and his remixes have covered a range from Christian Fennesz to Igor Stravinsky. Stefan Goldmann has also been associated with Berlin’s Berghain since 2005, conceiving the Elektroakustischer Salon event format, playing at the legendary Sunday afternoon sessions and writing a bi-monthly column for the club’s program flyer.
