Jojo Mayer Changing Time ( Documentary in English), Sternstunde Musik, SRF Kultur

SwissAmerican drummer Jojo Mayer grew up with a crocodile in his living room, spent his childhood on several continents and has been playing drums ever since he learnt how to sit upright. Today, Mayer is one of the most celebrated drummers worldwide, sells out shows with his band Nerve all over the world, and yet remains largely unnoticed by the mainstream music industry. For plausible reasons: to this day, his life has been a radical quest for new music, new ideas and ways to understand the time we live in regardless of obstacles and consequences. Musician, director Alexis Amitirigala travelled along with the drummer, and right into the clockwork of his relentlessly spinning mind. Written and directed by Alexis Amitirigala Filmed by Sergio Cassini Edited by Nicole Hussy Nerve mixed by John Davis Produced by Swiss Radio and Television SRF (2016) Sternstunde Musik vom
