Silent Films/Loud Music
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-6640-6 (ISBN)
Johnston draws upon his own career in both contemporary film music (working with directors Paul Mazursky, Henry Bean, Philip Haas and Doris Dörrie, among others) and in creating new scores for silent films by Browning, Méliès, Kinugasa, Murnau & Reiniger. Through this book, Johnston presents a discussion of music for silent films that contradicts long-held assumptions about what silent film music is and must be, with thought-provoking implications for both historical and contemporary film music.
Phillip Johnston is a composer for contemporary and silent film and lecturer at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Australia.
