SPECIAL EVENTS

Freneticore presents Second Sundays!  The March program is Music For Silent Films featuring Chris Becker.  Sunday, March 13, 7pm at Frenetic Theater, 5102 Navigation Blvd. Houston, TX 77011.

Composer Chris Becker (pictured) presents a set of composed and improvised music accompanying silent films by friends and fellow artists. Becker recently debuted this project in Houston in a special set presented by the Caroline Sessions at CultureMap. Some of the films from that set will be screened again at FrenetiCore, but every performance of Music for Silent Films is different.

Becker improvises a soundtrack to each silent film selecting and layering samples like the pieces of an aural jigsaw puzzle. The majority of the samples are field and studio recordings Becker has made over the past decade. Although the music for each film begins with a prepared, partially composed “template” of sounds and samples, once the film hits the screen, an improvised dialogue between Becker and the images begins.

No two performances to a film are ever the same.
