About the event and musicians:

Jed Smith brings his extensive background in crafting atmospheric soundscapes and contemporary sensibility to the haunting world of German Expressionist cinema. His live score for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari will reveal new textures, peaks, and valleys of this landmark 1920 silent film. Accompanying on piano is award-winning film and television composer Craig Safan ('The Last Star Fighter', 'Cheers', and many more). Completing the lineup is Andrew McGregor who will use a one-of-a-kind instrument he co-invented: an antique typewriter whose keys have been retrofitted to output MIDI.
