In this tell-all drama documentary series, we lift the lid on these titans of music. Hearing from friends, family, band members, partners and the people who were all part of the journey, we piece together the turbulent childhoods, explosive teenage years, relationships with parents, girlfriends, wives and the band members of these unique individuals. We take those that knew them best back to the places where their legends were born – the apartments, clubs, dives, houses and cars in which these men were forged. From crippling drug addictions to scandalous affairs, we’ll uncover the shocking reality of what it takes to be a frontman; we’ll tap into the vast musical archive, use rare band interviews and remarkable off stage footage to piece together each dramatic tale.

Treating a trumpet as if it was a portion of fish and chips is not basic culinary research but an audio-activistic intervention that lends a voice to British fishermen’s opinion towards Brexit. And the title ‘audio activist’ is very fitting for the British composer Matthew Herbert. ‘A Symphony of Noise’ provides an insight into Herbert’s thoughts about how we should hear the world and presents amplified sounds of teeth being pulled out, a pig being born, and a swimmer crossing the English Channel. The controversial and political samples become a part of a live performance at the Berlin night club Berghain, which makes the listeners both grate their teeth and dance along. Matthew Herbert wants us to listen to the world afresh, and it is a pretty fantastic experience.
