VAMPYR (1932) — a dreamy, expressionistic vision of the past present with LIVE musical accompaniment by VOC: SILENT FILM HARMONIC 🎶

🎥 A drifter obsessed with the supernatural stumbles upon an inn from which a series of strange events lead him to a manor where a severely ill adolescent girl is slowly becoming a vampire.

🎵 The VOC Silent Film Harmonic, under the direction of Ted Harms, was formed in the summer of 2007 with the idea of performing live & improvised music to accompany silent films. The group takes its inspiration from how many silent movies were originally presented - taking themes and using them as the basis for improvisation. The overall goal is for the music to reflect, enhance and support the movie, not to overtake or distract.
