Sadly, the days of the nickelodeon movie theatre is long gone. The coming of sound made the in-house orchestra/performer obsolete, taking away the live accompaniment that had been necessary for silent films. Luckily, you can try to recover this part of the nickelodeon experience as Andrew Downing's Melodeon perform an original score to The Shock (1923) at the Music Gallery on March 23rd. As their name implies, Melodeon is led by Andrew Downing, a Juno-Award winning double-bassist jazz musician from Toronto. The group solely play live scores to silent movies, including A Trip To The Moon (1902) and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919).
