Robert Bruce CLASSICAL NOUVEAU - live multimedia programs
Live Music/Silent Film
Original Piano Compositions by Composer/Pianist Robert Bruce Performed Live to the 1920s Silent Comedies of Film Legend Buster Keaton
“A Marriage of Film and Music Made in Heaven” - Stephen Hayes, Producer/Host of SOUNDTRACK 93.3 CFMU-FM
The music of composer/pianist Robert Bruce opens a new doorway into the magical world of comedy film legend Buster Keaton. A thoroughly enchanting cinema/live music experience, Robert Bruce performs his own piano compositions to complement and sonically bring to life the very spirit of Buster Keaton's innovative, hilarious and at times otherworldly classic 1920s silent comedies.
These programs are a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience how silent film was originally presented with Robert Bruce's music painting a sometimes dreamy, sometimes highly animated blues-impressionistic soundscape. The character, charm and quality of the music holds its own along side of Keaton's comic masterpieces and the inspired bringing together of these selected films and compositions expresses a joy that at times soars far beyond a the average functional and two-dimensional blending of film and music.
An experience to remember, the Live Music/Silent Film programs are fun and engaging for all age groups. Enjoy the timeless magic of Buster Keaton in a way you've never imagined with the live music of Robert Bruce.
