The trio of Barnes, Becker, and Wright present their popular music and films event Music for Silent Films. The ensemble will be improvising music live to a program of silent films by contemporary film makers including Noe Kidder, Molly Schwartz, Micki Pellerano, Tom and Marta, Ruby Quincunx, and others.
For these two shows, the Barnes, Becker, and Wright trio has augmented their sound with guest vocalist Helga Davis (Robert Wilson, Peter Greenway), bassist Dana Schechter (Bee and Flower, Angels of Light), Richmond, Virginia's own Paul Watson (Sparklehorse, Fred Frith, Half-Japanese, Tom Cora) on cornet and electronics, and special guest guitarist Stan Smith—one of Columbus Ohio's most active and original guitarist composers.
