The new Massive Attack song “Saturday Come Slow,” featuring Damon Albarn, provides the backdrop for a short film by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin that illuminates the effects of sound on the human body. The film features Ruhal Ahmed, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, detailing his experiences beings interrogated there, and it was shot at Cambridge University’s anechoic chamber, a room designed to eliminate all noise. It makes for a very dramatic eight minutes.
