"Alloy Orchestra: Wild and Weird"

This event occurs in the past, Feb 4
55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA   (view map)

Filed under: instrumental, seen live

Now that you all know how cool silent movies can be after watching the Oscar Best Picture nominee The Artist (if you haven’t yet seen it, you must), take it up another notch by experiencing the Alloy Orchestra’s “Wild And Weird,” a compilation of classic silent shorts accompanied by the legendary ensemble performing their own original soundtracks. The selections range from the Dadaist Filmstudie (1926) by Hans Richter to the hallucinatory Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend (1906) by Edwin S. Porter. As you probably already deduced after watching Hugo, those early filmmakers were some freaky dudes.
