During the 1999 Holland Festival, the New York group, Bang on a Can, performed their new instrumental version of Brian Eno's ambient composition of the seventies Music for Airports. The performance features Frank Scheffer's digitally shot images of Schiphol Airport, with the cooperation of musicians: Steve Reich, Brian Eno and Louis Andriessen. Frank Scheffer's In the Ocean is unique in the genre of music documentary. This recording explains the complex contemporary pictures of the past thirty years as well as showing how ideas move back and forth between continents. Scheffer explores the relationship between American and European composers, of how they view and influence each other. This is personified in the film by the story of Bang on a Can, one of the most popular and vital movements in music today. The founders and artistic directors of Bang on a Can are three young American composers: Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe. They established themselves as heirs to the legacy of American composers Charles Ives, John Cage, Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
