[NEohioPAL]SynthCleveland Presents "Nosferatu" With A New Live Soundtrack

[tofu]

 SynthCleveland will present the F.W. Murnau 1922 classic silent 
film "Nosferatu," featuring a new live soundtrack on Wednesday, 
October 20 at 8pm, at Rain Nightclub, 4142 Lorain Avenue in 
Cleveland.

 The new score will be performed by SynthCleveland members bands
the scinema, Dust_Head, notech, Luigi-Bob Drake, Steven K. Smith 
and tofu.

 Murnau changed the name and ghastly appearance of his villain 
Count Orlock, but this unauthorized version of Bram Stoker's 
Dracula couldn't fool the Stoker estate, and it became the 
center of a lawsuit that almost resulted in its complete 
destruction. It managed to survive and as Film Critic Pauline 
Kael remarked, "... this first important film of the vampire 
genre has more spectral atmosphere, more ingenuity, and more 
imaginative ghoulish ghastliness than any of its successors."

 The score will "orchestrated" by SynthCleveland member Mike 
Crooker. Crooker also recently scored the music to the 
independent horror film "Gloom," produced by area filmmakers 
First Cut Studios (http://www.firstcutstudios.org/). There 
will be a special screening of "Gloom" held during the 
intermission of "Nosferatu."
