about

Recorded live at the Astor Theatre Perth Western Australia, de Groot's original score for Kirsanoff's 1926 masterpiece "Ménilmontant" provided a stunning and poignant accompaniment. Mixing a 19-piece acoustic ensemble with prerecorded sound design and live sound effects de Groot pushed the boundaries of the traditional silent film score.
