#4729, William Tyler & Mary Lattimore: Electric Appalachia, From Brookfield Place
From the New Sounds Live Silent Film/Live Music series, hear an original score for the contemporary silent film, Electric Appalachia by harpist Mary Lattimore and guitarist William Tyler, recorded live at Brookfield Place in Jan. 2023.
Electric Appalachia is a surprising, and surprisingly poignant look at how the coming of electricity changed Tennessee. Using archival footage, the film was put together by Eric Dawson, the director at TAMIS (the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound) and offers “a meditation on electricity and modernity in East Tennessee”. This silent film was created with two musicians in mind – guitarist William Tyler and harpist and synthesist Mary Lattimore, who add a moving, occasionally cosmic score, and one that switches moods and textures. The film and live score initially premiered at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville in 2022. (-John Schaefer)
