Ahead of his dates in April with Robert Fripp in Spain, Theo Travis is reuniting with Jade Warrior bassist Dave Sturt to tour the UK as Cipher.
The duo will be adding a new score to the seminal silent film from 1920, The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.
It says here...
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.
You can see an extract of the film with Cipher's music, and also hear the Today programme feature on this project here.
