Donahue, Terry — Alloy Orchestra: New Music for Silent Films
The Alloy Orchestra is a group of multitalented musicians with widely diverse abilities, based near Boston, Massachusetts. This group provides live, in house orchestral backup to the Chaplin, Keaton and other classic silent films of the 1920s.
Our guest in this edition of Radio Curious is Terry Donahue, an Alloy Orchestra partner, a skilled player of the accordion, musical saw, drums and bells, to name only a few.
Terry Donahue and I visited by phone from his home near Boston Massachusetts, on May 10, 2013, and began with his description of the composition of the Alloy Orchestra.
The book Terry Donahue recommends is “Accordion Crimes,” by Annie Proulx, and “Delicatessen” a French film.
