German film premiere with Jeff Mills in Berlin
The film X-102 Rediscovers The Rings Of Saturn will premiere in Germany on Wednesday 28 January 2009 at Eiszeit Kino cinema Berlin with Jeff Mills present.
Synopsis: A visual and sound graphic expose’ of one of the Universes most beautiful and mysterious planet. In 1992, X-102 (Experimental 102) otherwise known as Underground Resistance. Then, the Detroit-based musical trio of Mike Banks, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood set out to create a musical project about the planet and its rings in a full length LP entitled “X-102 discovers the Rings Of Saturn”. In a attempt to musically describe the physical make-up and contents of and the never-before seen Planet and each of the significant rings (A,B,C, E and F) surrounding the planet, X-102 opened up yet another encrypted chapter of Modern Music that their dedicated listeners and the music world did not expect.
It was the nature of Banks and Mills to plan, not only the music but also the image aspects of their projects.
As Banks and Mills made their own individual mark in the Electronic Music industry, they would occasionally discuss the probability of completing the plans of X-102.
Mills made the decision that “now is the time” to re-introduce the project of Saturn using the new images with the permission of Cassini Huygen program. Permission was granted and the work began to reintroduce X-102. Mills and Banks created new soundtracks for the new discoveries of Cassini Huygen and re-mastered the original compositions to create a comprehensive review of Saturn and the Rings.
