The Callicoon Theater is showing a 104-year-old movie with a brand new soundtrack. Ambient Barn will be performing a haunting new score live to the classic German Expressionist silent film, “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” on Tuesday, October 29.
Jason Dole spoke to Mark Partridge, who performs as Ambient Barn and hosts a show of the same name on Radio Catskill, about how this chilling fusion of sound and cinema came to be.
