"The Unknown" was my first contemporary score for a classic silent film. Commissioned by The American Museum of the Moving Image, it premiered there in 1993, and has subsequently been performed in Boston, Philadelphia, Rome & Hoboken, as well as at The Knitting Factory in New York.
The score was originally performed by Big Trouble, featuring Joe Ruddick, Dave Hofstra, Kevin Norton, Bob DeBellis, Steve Swell and myself; we recorded it for Avant (see Recordings) the next year. For subsequent perfromances I added Allan Chase and Bill Ruyle, and conducted, rather than playing the sax part myself. --Phillip Johnston |
