Silent Movies

Presented by Tauranga Musica

Silent Movies Live presents classic silent movies the way they were intended, with live music accompaniment.
Pianist David Selfe and percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons add live musical accompaniment to two silent Charlie Chaplin films selected from: The Pawn Shop (1916), A Dog’s Life (1918) and The Kid (1921). In the place of synchronised recorded music, the musical duo uses authentic original composition, improvisation, and an array of sound effects to capture the comedy, pathos, and heart of these classic films.

All music is composed by pianist David Selfe, and arranged by percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons. The music involves a degree of improvisation and interaction between piano, percussion, and the film. The NZ written score is based on the style of the 1920’s movie house.
