"The Shout is one of the great films about sound...Rupert Hine’s inventive score combines experimental electroacoustic music with synths and organs... (his) use of synthesisers evokes an eeriness also found in Brian Eno’s 1970’s scores for Derek Jarman and Peter Greenaway." Suzy Mangion, audio theorist + electronic artist. Jeremy Thomas’ 1978 production of The Shout, adapted from a short story by Robert Graves and directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, is highly regarded amongst British horror and electronic music fans due to its bold, arthouse approach to psychological drama, propelled by experimental studio techniques and visceral sound design. The film’s score and audio effects were almost entirely created by the songwriter and record producer Rupert Hine (Thinkman, Quantum Jump, Rush, Stevie Nicks, Kevin Ayers, Nico, Howard Jones, Underworld, Tina Turner & more). Rupert recorded reels of ideas and experiments for the film between 1977 and 1978 using an EMS VCS3, Yamaha CS80, Eventide Harmoniser and Roland Space Echo. He also created Crossley‘s terrifying shout and other foley effects such as the musique concrète for John Hurt’s studio scenes.
