Award-winning guitarist and composer Graeme Stephen has been breathing new life into classic early cinema with his silent film scores and performs his live score to a screening of the silent film classic – Nosferatu. Nosferatu, the mother of all modern vampire films, provides rich source material for Graeme Stephens' composition. By director F.W Murnau, the film has gained legendary status since its creation in 1922. Graeme Stephen has absorbed a whole range of influences from the classic pre-bop of Charlie Christian through to contemporary icons like Bill Frisell, but is finding his own way.
