914 Recording Sound Studios, Inc. was a recording studio in Blauvelt, New York during the 1970s. Some of the artists who recorded tracks and albums in the studio were Bruce Springsteen, Dusty Springfield, Ramones, Janis Ian, Blood, Sweat & Tears and Melanie. It was named after telephone area code 914, which served as the area code for Rockland County (where the studio was located) until 2000.[1][2]

- Dec 02, 2018 The Berberian Sound Studio is not for everyone and it is not a horror film, although it is horrifying in its own way. The Berberian Sound Studio is more like a study of a deteriorating personality, similar to films like Bergmann's Persona or Hour Of The Wolf. In the case of Berberien Sound Studio, its seems that this protagonist will come to.
History[edit]
914 Sound Studios was created by Brooklyn, New York-born Brooks Arthur (born Arnold Brodsky), a well-known sound engineer of the era, who lived in Rockland County. 914 Studios was 20 minutes north of Washington Heights by car and 5 minutes away from the state border with New Jersey. Arthur later explained its genesis: “I was living in Valley Cottage, New York which is down Route 303 from Blauvelt, back in 1971, and I thought it would be a great idea to have a workshop where artists and producers could hang out for a week at a time, relax and build a record at affordable rates. New York City by-the-hour pricing was already getting expensive, and I envisioned a place where artists like Janis, Dusty Springfield and, later, Bruce would be able to roost for a while and create an album. We built a football field behind the studio and the great Blauvelt Diner was within walking distance. Bruce loved that place!'[3]
914 Sound Studios, which opened at a converted gas station in October 1970, was a subsidiary of A & R Recording. Arthur owned one-half, while the other half was split between A & R co-founder Phil Ramone, A & R executive Art Ward and engineer Don Frey.

Bruce Springsteen began recording at 914 Sound Studios once he signed his first record deal, with Columbia Records in 1972.[4] Manager and producerMike Appel choseit in order to economize in using the $25,000 advance they had been given; he saw it as 'a top-notch facility' that allowed 'high quality at reasonable rates' due to its out-of-the-way location.[4] Recordings made at the studio during 1972 would make their way onto Springsteen's debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.[5] and would also be used as demos for Appel's publishing company, Laurel Canyon Music Publishing.[6] Some of these demos would later appear as radio-only releases ('The Fever') or on his late 1990s Tracks box set, or on innumerable bootleg recordings. All of Springsteen's second album, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, was recorded at 914 Sound in 1973.[7] Still short on money, some members of Springsteen's E Street Band slept in a tent in back of the studio rather than rent a hotel room or commute to the Jersey Shore.[8] The membership of the band even changed temporarily due to the studio; Louis Lahav, the studio's resident sound engineer, provided the link whereby his wife, violinist and vocalist Suki Lahav, joined the band for six months.[9]
The first song for Springsteen's next album, the classic 'Born to Run', was also recorded at 914 Sound in 1974. A New Jersey fan and a personal friend of Springsteen at the time, Barry Rebo (who later became the chairman of Emerging Pictures, a national network of digital cinema theaters), used his black-and-white Super-8 film camera to record Springsteen at the 914 Sound Studio. Springsteen labored there for months, between playing club dates, over the four-and-a-half minutes of 'Born to Run'.[10] However, new Springsteen producer and future manager Jon Landau characterized 914 Sound as a 'beat-up old funky studio' where, among other things, the piano, which was at the core of the songs, would not stay in tune. Landau also felt that the studio owners had not invested in the most up-to-date equipment and that the sound of the studio was dull.[9] He moved recording of the remainder of the Born to Run album to The Record Plant in New York City.[11]
Dusty Springfield recorded the songs for her intended-to-be 1974 album Longing at the studio, with Brooks Arthur producing, but for various reasons the album was abandoned.[12]The Ramones recorded tracks in 1975 at the studio for an alleged 1975 East BerlinEP, Judy's In The Basement - The 914 Sessions.[13]Janis Ian teamed up with Brooks Arthur for three albums recorded at 914 Sound, including 1975's number-one Between the Lines, containing her hit 'At Seventeen'.[3]Between the Lines was the final project at 914 that Arthur worked on.
The partners sold the studio in 1978, while the corporation (914 Sound Recording Studios, Inc.) formally dissolved in 1982.

Berberian Sound Studio is a 2012 British horror film. It is the second feature film by British director and screenwriter Peter Strickland. The film, which stars Toby Jones, is set in a 1970s Italian horror film studio.[2]
Plot[edit]
British sound engineer Gilderoy (Toby Jones) arrives at the Berberian film studio in Italy to work on what he believes is a film about horses. During a surreal meeting with Francesco, the film's producer, Gilderoy is shocked to find the film is actually an Italian giallo film, The Equestrian Vortex.[3] He nonetheless begins work in the studio, at one point made to do Foley work, using vegetables to create sound effects for the film's increasingly gory torture sequences, and mixing voiceovers from session artists, Silvia and Claudia, into the score.
As time passes, and Gilderoy feels more and more disconnected from his mother at home, he begins to fear he's out of his depth. His colleagues seem increasingly rude – to both himself and to each other. The horror sequences grow ever more shocking, yet Santini, the director, refuses to admit they are working on a horror film. And, after a long passage through the bureaucracy of the film studio's accounts department, it turns out the plane ticket Gilderoy submitted for a refund can't be processed because the flight didn't actually exist.
The plot, from here on in, grows increasingly erratic. Gilderoy hears and sees things in the night. He discovers Silvia, the voiceover artist, was molested by Santini. She storms out, destroying much of their work, forcing Gilderoy to re-record the dialogue with a new actress, Elisa. As Silvia's recording sequences are revisited again, and tension grows between Gilderoy and the others, the boundaries between the blood-drenched giallo thriller and real life begin to erode. Gilderoy imagines he himself is in a film about his life – suddenly fluent in Italian and increasingly detached and vicious. After he and Francesco essentially torture Elisa during a recording session, she walks out, leaving history to repeat itself yet again, and Gilderoy to contemplate the monster he has become.

Background[edit]
Strickland made a version in 2005 as a short film, prior to working on his first feature film, Katalin Varga, in 2006. He said that with the film, he wanted to 'make a film where everything that is usually hidden in cinema, the mechanics of film itself, is made visible. Berberian.. turns this on its head.
