Ethnographic context: "This film distills three years of conversations, 2005-2008, with Nii Noi Nortey, the Ghanaian sculptor, instrument inventor, and avant-garde instrumentalist. Nortey discusses the African legacy of John Coltrane, and how it inspired invention of his afrifone instruments, and a series of twenty Accra Trane Station sculptures. The film also features Accra Trane Station percussionist Nii Otoo Annan. Included are scenes of Nortey creating sculptures and Accra Trane Station rehearsing, recording, and perlorming in Ghana and the USA."
