Silent Film With Live Score

Imagine seeing an old silent movie brought to life, a beautiful work of art from the beginning of the 20th century fused with electronic sounds and a live show.

Watching a film score performed live is a unique spine tingling experience, something that won't be forgotten, and definitely an event not to be missed. The beauty of a classic silent film given a new lease of life over 100 years later, brought up-to-date with an electronic soundtrack is something that simply has to be seen.

The film shown is 'Cabiria' an epic 1914 Italian classic from the silent era directed by Giovanni Pastrone. The film has been characterised as the first epic film ever made, and according to Martin Scorsese, saw the first use of the moving camera.

The soundtrack has been composed by Epistrophe Smith www.epistrophesmith.com, an exciting electronic musician who will be performing his score live along to the epic film. The live performance will be recorded and an album 'Soundtrack to a Silent Film' will be released off the back of it (release date early 2016).

If you're looking for the ultimate cinema experience with wonderful food to share, and have a love of electronic music (think along the lines of Bonobo, Fourtet, Jon Hopkins and Nils Frahm), then this is for you. Hamilton House event manager Danny Balla says: "Epistrophe Smith's music is electronica alive with ambition it wants to take you on a journey and play; and that's what it does - with infectious curiosity"
