Link to the web series "The Weirdness", which I also scored.

"L'Inferno" is a 1911 Italian silent film, loosely adapted from Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy'. "L'Inferno" took over three years to make, and was the first full-length Italian feature film ever made.
The score was performed live with the film on October 19th, 2016 at RUBA Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Recorded direct to 2-track stereo.
This edit of "L'Inferno" by Richard Campbell of Cinema Ray.

*I was asked by the organization Cinema Ray in early September 2016 to perform a live score with a silent horror film, as a part of their month-long "Silent Screams with Live Music" series. Of the choices I was given, "L'Inferno" was the first film that I watched and even before finishing it or watching any of the other films, I knew that this was the film meant for me. I was disturbed on a psychic level, yet intrigued by what amazing feats the filmmakers had accomplished in their day. With the exception of the Overture (recorded in September 2016) and a few recurring themes, this score was about 95% improvised. I worked up various sounds and progressions, but didn't decide on a set structure until within the performance itself. I just reacted naturally to the feel of the film as it progressed. This was an absolute labor of love to put together with Rich and Allison from Cinema Ray and to release. Enjoy with an open mind. - Mike Kiker, 4/27/2017
