Nightingale (film)

Nightingale is a 2014 American drama film directed by Elliott Lester and written by Frederick Mensch. The film stars David Oyelowo. The film premiered on HBO on May 29, 2015.

Plot

The movie begins with Peter Snowden, a man in his late 30s, recording a video of his confession to murdering his mother. He explains that she was unwilling to allow him, an equal contributor to their household expenses, to have the house to himself for the purpose of entertaining an old military buddy. He goes on to explain that he feels no guilt for the crime but does regret the amount of blood. Peter appears to be a type of YouTube vlogger as he admonishes himself that he can not upload this video and shuts the camera off.

The next day Peter sits at the kitchen table singing happily and enjoying a bowl of what appears to be fruit loops. And as he heads off to work he seems to forget for a moment that the previous night he murdered his mother because he calls to her closed bedroom door to let her know he's leaving. His face registers the new reality.

Nightingale (Erland and the Carnival album)

Nightingale is the second studio album by the folk rock project Erland and the Carnival, released in 2011 on the Full Time Hobby label. The album combines British folk themes with original rock music and received largely positive reviews."Dusted Magazine stated that "Nightingale is a distinctive exemplar of folk revivalism for the age of indie," and This is Fake DIY marked the album as the point where the band had "proven their worth in instrumental experimentation."

Recording process

The album was recorded on board HMS President, a warship ship moored on the River Thames. According to the band, they at times tried to replicate strange noises made inside the ship. Stated Tong, "You could hear other boats passing by up the Thames. You could hear the propeller noises. It had all these weird super psychedelic sounds...We put all these contact mics around in the space we were recording in and just tried to capture it. And you'd take what you'd done home that night and have a listen to it and there'd be these weird things on the mics. Like 'What is that? I don't know, but it's definitely going to stay.'"
