silent movie music company

Günter A. Buchwald - Matthias Stich - Mike Schweizer - Frank Bockius in Kyoto, Japan

In 1985 Günter A. Buchwald founded with his friends the Silent Movie Music Company. Their film in concert performances in Europe and Asia proves their attractivity and their spontaneuos improvisations always find a huge acclaim by the public.

They sometimes have been asked from which soundtrack the music came or if would be possible to have a look to the score: the ensemble feels honoured bau have to deny: only if the music is not louder than the film the group feels to have done the right job: as an even partner to the movie, a counterpoint in the best musical meaning.
