Devil
Music Ensemble
Screen shot - Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
|
The
Devil Music Ensemble has just confirmed a US tour. They
will be performing their original score to the classic
horror film, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. The tour kicks
off Sept. 21 in Baltimore, MD.
The DME formed in Boston in 1999. The current roster is
comprised of Brendon Wood on guitars, lap steel, and synthesizer;
Jonah Rapino on electric violin, vibraphone, and synthesizer;
and Tim Nylander on drums, and percussion.
“The Devil Music Ensemble has established itself
as one of the primary American groups composing and performing
scores for silent films, and can be spoken of in the same
breath as groups like the Alloy Orchestra and the Tin
Hat Trio.”
Dylan Skolnick - Director of Programming - Cinema Arts
Centre
The DME has been on numerous tours playing soundtracks
for silent films and their 2005 tours took them across
the United States. They have played at the Andy Warhol
Museum, The Cleveland Institute Of Art, countless art-house
movie theaters, college campuses and in at least one barn.
This upcoming 2006 Fall/Halloween tour will again take
them through the entire U.S.
Brendon Wood, from Tiverton RI, has his Bachelors of Fine
Arts in Music from the University of Mass. Jonah Rapino,
from Toledo Ohio, received his Bachelors Fine Arts in
classical music performance from Boston University. Tim
Nylander, from Portsmouth NH, received his Bachelors in
Fine Arts from Harvard University.
No single description of the DME performance experience
can accurately depict this groups versatile and genre
spanning capabilities. In its short history, the DME has
been a rock trio, an Eastern European folk band, a country
band, a 40 piece modern orchestral ensemble, a house band
for live theater, and a multi-member ensemble performing
live soundtracks to silent films. The DME, striving to
explore different sonic territory with every new project
they undertake, keeps audiences surprised and coming back
to hear and see whatever they are doing next. |
