"Land of the Rising Sound: A Roland Retrospective.

The story of Roland is one of the most expansive and influential in the world of music technology. This feature length documentary sets out to tell it through their iconic inventions.

Furthermore, both Gordon and Sound on Sound need crediting for having already gone the whole 9-yards on the subject: https://www.soundonsound.com/music-bu..."
