Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Berberian Sound Studio is the soundtrack to a Peter Strickland film about a sound recordist's descent into madness whilst working in an Italian film studio.
Appropriately, it's presented as 39 miniature sonic studies in the vein of European "library music" fragments, interspersed with dialogue clips from the movie and sound effects to evoke the protagonist's deteriorating mindset. Some pieces, like "Mark of the Devil", are abstract blends of swirling synth and industrial gas noise; others, such as "The Equestrian Vortex", utilise jazzy drums and organ in a prog-rock style. Most effective are those tracks, including "Collatina, Mark of Damnation", which employ the childlike vocals of Broadcast's late singer Trish Keenan.
