Buster Keaton. Live Music. Original Music

Not So Silent Cinema and the New River Ensemble are excited to be in Atlanta this January for a program of classic Buster Keaton shorts with original music:

"The Haunted House" (1921)
"The Electric House" (1922)
"Cops" (1922)
"One Week" (1920)

"Cooneyʼs original scores provide a 1920ʼs urban-Americana soundscape that combines ragtime, blues, bluegrass, Klezmer and hot jazz."

Boston Globe

Stumbling, falling, tumbling and running from cops, ghosts, trains and electric houses Buster Keaton delivers up the breath-taking stunts and antics that made him one of the greatest figures in early film history.

Not-So-Silent-Cinema follows him through 1920's landscapes with a soundscape of American roots music combining blues, jazz, ragtime, old-time, Klezmer, and even a little classical music, composed by Brendan Cooney.

Not-So-Silent-Cinema features new scores to classic film with rotating casts of musicians. This tour features the New River Ensemble, a genre-stretching chamber music ensemble. New York clarinetist Martha Hyde is a veteran of Broadway, Radio City Music Hall and the Gotham Wind Symphony. Cellist Lisa Liske-Doorandish is an in-demand performer and teacher from the hills of southern Virginia. New York pianist and composer Brendan Cooney is the master-mind behind Not-So-Silent-Cinema. The trio regularly presents chamber music concerts, live film scores and educational workshops.
