To coincide with the ninetieth anniversary of the classic silent film "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" (1920) Cipher present their new soundtrack performed live as part of a UK tour.
This seminal horror film tells the story of the deranged Dr. Caligari and his faithful sleepwalking Cesare, and their connection to a string of murders. Critics worldwide have praised the film for its expressionist style, complete with wild, distorted set design. Caligari has been cited as an influence on film noir, one of the earliest horror films, and a model for directors for many decades.
Cipher complement the film with their unique style of jazz electronica incorporating live looping and computer processing techniques to produce a genuinely mysterious Gothic experience.
