Viewing Notes
Watched another of the silent films with new scores from the GroundUp Program*. This is the third one I’ve seen (of three) that has House of Water doing the score. Gotta say, they do nothing for me on these movies. tbh I could watch this movie w/o the score and it’d have the same effect or may even be better (since the score sounds so anachronistic w/modern instruments). Also, the shitty transfer did this one no favors but at least it was somewhat watchable.
I’d like to see a better version of this sans that score.
*Part of The silent film series with GroundUp Music, five silent film classics reimagined by five different artists from the label. They are world Premiering on FF @ Home and include the 1924 Soviet silent classic AELITA: QUEEN OF MARS with a new score by Snarky Puppy’s Chris Bullock, House of Waters with the three shorts MENILMONTANT (1926), LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (1902), and BALLET MECANIQUE (1923); PRD Mais with WAXWORKS (1924); Sirintip with THE LOST WORLD (1925); and Bob Lanzetti with NOSFERATU (1922).
