[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The central character of the film is Tommy Matisse; his name combines the title of The Who's 1969 rock opera Tommy and the last name of twentieth century French painter Henri Matisse.

Tommy is a Melbourne boy studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He is a violinist and composer who hears music in unusual sources such as trains on the London Underground or the chirping of crickets. He is a rebel against the traditions of classical music as shown by his bringing a homeless woman living in the Underground on stage for a concert.

A sympathetic professor decides that he is the type of innovative artist needed to revive a dying opera artform. Having shocked opera's establishment, he returns home to Melbourne on the death of his younger sister Emma. He discovers a CD of her own mixes and decides to enter the genre of electronic music to follow the path she was pursuing.

Tommy's girlfriend Alysse has caught the attention of a sleazy entrepreneur named Hector Lee who owns a club called Trance-Zen-Dance and who is also a drug dealer. Hector Lee has a young assistant called Trig who is a VJ, and is always getting new footage.
