Description
Dave Grohl announced Play, a two-part documentary that culminates with him performing a new solo 23-minute song on seven different instruments.
Grohl created the immersive Play project, arriving August 10th, to showcase ?the rewards and challenges of dedicating ones life to playing and mastering a musical instrument.?
?Watching my kids start to play music and learn to sing or play drums, it brings me back to the time when I was their age listening to albums, learning from listening? and when I take my kids to the place where they take their lessons, I see these rooms full of children that are really pushing themselves to figure this out,? Grohl said in a statement.
?And even now, as a 49-year-old man, I?m still trying to figure it out? it?s not something that you ever truly master. You?re always chasing the next challenge, and you?re always trying to find a way to improve on what you?ve learned.?
Grohl blueprinted Play alongside Sonic Highways collaborator Mark Monroe, with Grohl performing the entire 23-minute instrumental on one instrument at a time and then merging the videos of each take to create a seven-piece one-man band. In a video that accompanied Play?s impending arrival, Grohl previewed how the work, filmed by Brandon Trost, was constructed (source: Rolling Stone)
