Sound Unseen: Live Scored Cabinet of Dr Caligari

Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 2:00 PM

December 7th | 2pm + 9pm: THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (With Live Score)

Utilizing an individually developed composition technique based on text prompts and letters, Wisconsin based musician, composer, improviser and multimedia experimental artist Barry Paul Clark (member of Field Report, Tontine Ensemble, Cathedral Becomes Tomb) has prepared a score to accompany Robert Wiene’s 1920 historic silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.” The score not only utilizes the contemporary composition technique, but calls for extensive use of improvisation, and in doing so, Barry has curated an ensemble of some of southeastern Wisconsin’s finest and most celebrated experimental/improvising musicians.
