Thanks to a subjective tour of fragments of different biographical music documentaries, we will follow an analysis of the relationship between music and narrative, interweaving potential connections between the biographical facts narrated in the different documentaries and our own lives. Or in other words: “could we at some time in our past have felt the same as singers and composers like Oleg Karavaichuk, Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Glenn Gould or Kathleen Hanna? And if the answer is yes: What role did music play in those key moments?
