"Nosferatu" (A Sympathy for Horror)

Always enamored with haunted people, haunted locations & haunted nationalities (Polish & Transylvanian ancestry), F. W. Murnau's masterpiece of horror, "Nosferatu" (1922) was my first live film score. I performed a quite different version of the score 30 years ago, at The L.A. Directors Guild at The Cinematheque, and Arts at St. Ann's in NYC. The original, lost score by Hans Erdmann has been partially reconstructed by various composers, inviting completely new music for Murnau's 100 year old vision. The new orchestral score translates the colors from the live, solo score: electric guitar, melodic feedback, acoustic guitar & hammered dulcimer.
