On this episode, Ben Model talks with co-host Kerr Lockhart talk about a cancelled gig at the Metropolitan Museum of Art turning into an online one, Gage County Nebraska and Hollywood, accompanying Russian silent films, scoring a French film for an audience with live-translated intertitles. Plus: using leitmotifs, finding a lost reel of a Baby Peggy comedy, piano tuning and this week's silent film book recommendation. You'll hear excerpts from Ben's last show before the pandemic shutdown, a screening in Brooklyn and one with theater organ on Long Island. Episode 35 Show Notes Ben talks about accompanying two short documentaries for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Pottery Maker(1926) directed by Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North); and A Visit to the Home of Childe Hasam. Ben discusses accompanying Behind The Door, a film with Nebraska roots at a screening in Beatrice, NE on March 7, 2020 hosted by the Gage County Historical Society and Film Institute. He talks about making an effort to play more simply to match the broad melodrama of the film.We reflect on the number of very famous performers from Nebraska, Henry Fonda, Marlon and Jocelyn Brando, and Johnny Carson, who gave his name to the performance arts center at the University of Nebraska, where Ben appeared on the local public radio performing arts program. Another Nebraska notable -- George D. Baker, prolific director for Vitagraph.Ben introduces his February 11, 2020 live performance of Strike at St Francis College in Brooklyn for Prof. Scott Weiss. The challenges include (a) how much should the accompaniment indicate the national or ethnic setting of the film; and (b) how does the accompaniment deal with Eisenstein’s associative montage?Kerr asks Ben how he keeps mind and fingers nimble during this stay-home time. Ben has renewed his skills at tuning and repairing his piano. Also, he keeps working on how to play for an audience of one over the internet on the Silent Comedy Watch Party, and on developing new musical phrasings and ideas.Ben introduces his December 11, 2019 performance to support Rene Clair’s Les Deux Timides at The Cinema Arts Center at Huntington, Long Island. He talks about how loyal and receptive the Cinema Arts audience is to lesser-known titles. Ben also explains how they perform live spoken titles for foreign-language titled films.Ben talks about how strong audience reaction at the live exhibitions of unusual films and new restorations can often drive home video release.FAQ: How important is the use of motifs to accompany silent film. Ben talks about how there often was overuse of the idea in the silent era; but when they are used to represent not only the characters, but the character’s journey, the judicious use of themes, perhaps three times in a film, help the audience follow the progress of the film; he talks about the trap of making the audience overly aware of the motifs.Recommendation: Kerr recommends Rediscovering Roscoe: The Films of “Fatty” Arbuckle by Steve Massa. Links from the episode: Watch The Pottery Maker (1926) on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Vault Series website and read the article about it on the museum's blog.It's true...I'm in an oil painting by Max Ferguson.

1 ep. 52: William Perry interview (part 2) – MoMA, Lillian Gish, composing orchestrally for piano, and more. 59:22
In this episode: Ben interviews composer, silent film pianist and television producer William Perry. Perry is probably best-remembered for his scores for the now-legendary television series "The Silent Years", produced by Paul Killiam, that ran for two seasons on public television, in 1971 and 1975. For twelve years Perry was the music director and composer-in-residence at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the second part of this interview, Perry talks about his work as MoMA's full-time silent film accompanist, his friendship with Lillian Gish, how he approached composing his "Silent Years" scores, how he orchestrated them for symphonic performances and recordings in later years, his decision to leave MoMA and film accompaniment, his serving as producer and composer for series of Mark Twain films for PBS, and more. The 1st half of the interview was posted in September 2022. Show notes for episode 52 can be found here.…
