The Unknown

A score for a silent film

Hello folks,

Some years ago I was asked by the curators of the Paramount Theater in Seattle to compose a score for the 1927 silent film The Unknown, directed by Todd Browning, with Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford. I went to work and wrote a score for the 50-plus minutes, featuring my Quinteto.

The film is a dark psychological thriller, with unexpected twists and turns.

The performance happened in November of 2017, and we had over 700 folks in the beautiful Paramount Theater. Below is a 15-minute video with excerpts of the performance:
