On October 17th, Silent Music Revival presents another installment of improvised soundtracks to silent films.
October’s films will be a collection by the famed special effects artist Slavko Vorkapich.
These films have a distinct eeriness to them that is sure to embody the Halloween Spirit.
This month the musical artists are Silver Top Beauty with Antonia FD Vassar on vocals. Silver Top Beauty is the brainchild of Elliott Shelton, normally his solo work, he has expanded it into a collective to include Devonne Harris and Antonia Vassar.
After doing performances with the VCU guitar program, backup music for a puppet/theater show, and the Brian Jones' music circus, he is ready to try his hand at the Silent Music Revival.
This is not Antonia Vassar’s first experience with Silent Music Revival. She performed with Jonathan Vassar and the Speckled Bird to the film “Menilmontant” over a year ago. Professionally trained as a classical vocalist, Antonia has preformed for the VCU Opera Theater Program and sang in the classical musical group, The Madrigalists.
I recently had the chance to Interview both Elliott and Antonia, and thought it fitting to have an improvised conversation in a public chat room talking about Silent Music Revival, while others talked about Brett Favre and Penises.
