Silent Film Score

"Silent film score" music refers to the music that was composed and performed to accompany silent films during the era when films had no synchronized sound. This music was typically played live by a pianist or small ensemble in the theater as the film was being screened, and it was intended to enhance the emotional impact of the visual images on screen. Silent film scores could range from simple improvisations to elaborate compositions, and they often included a mix of popular songs, classical music, and original pieces specifically written for the film. Some silent films also used pre-recorded music tracks or cue sheets which provide the specific music for each scene of the film. Silent film scores are an important part of the history of film and music.

This is a kind and sometimes quirky soundtrack to a fictional cartoon world with a pronounced main motive, dynamically developing through various instruments, including the Indian tampura, which at some points was not even afraid to take on the main melody.

A short piece for small orchestra. The flutes play off the bassoon well. The B section includes a pleasant string theme. This piece culminates in a nice, easy ending.<BR>

Light but dim. Nice for a 'classy' villain with a plan.

Two short pieces in one file. Deliberate clockwork theme.

Darkly plodding, this staccato piano piece is the tense setting for the classic silent film scene: the heroine is tied to the train tracks, the steam engine train plugging along towards her. The chug-a-chug feel is maintained by a tense hammering of the chords in triplets, depicting machinery or chaos...

Music from the imagination of the Shire. Maybe it suits the royal elf.

Light background... possibly for a physical comedy bit.

Co-written with Bryan Teoh while he was on vacation (Thanks Bryan!) this is all the mystery and chill groove you need. So come on you cats and swingers, enjoy yourself a Jet Pilot (served in a pineapple of course) and help unravel the Secret of Tiki Island! Can you save...

Circus-type march. Fits really well with humorous content. It's short and efficient. Easy to loop as well!

An all percussion tension-sustaining piece... More chaotic than symmetric, but enough repeated themes to keep it cohesive.<BR>

Quirky little duet. Major contrast between a staccato piano line, and the sweeping long bass clarinet.<BR>
