	Alloy Orchestra
		The New York Times has said that the Alloy Orchestra is "fast becoming the country's leading avant garde interpreter of silent films." Using everything from synthesizers and drums to horseshoes, air-conditioner ducts and bedpans, the Cambridge-based musicians bring new life to classics usually overlooked by '90s film audiences.
		The Alloy Orchestra provides a rollicking accompaniment for the film's famous Coney Island sequence and a breathtaking chase scene through the city streets.
		This time around, the Alloy Orchestra will be performing with a new print of the classic, recently restored by the George Eastman House in Rochester.

		The Alloy Orchestra is a unique blend of Raymond Scott, John Cage, and Alfred Newman, blending humor, avant-garde theatrics, and a clear love of the conventions of film scoring into a one-of-a-kind style of film soundtrack composition.
		Originally, the Alloy Orchestra formed in Boston in 1986 as a collaboration between keyboardist and composer Caleb Sampson, a fixture on the local avant-garde scene (as well as a film and television soundtrack composer who worked on the children's television series Sesame Street), and percussionist Ken Winokur (Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, Morphine, No Man, etc.).
		The first Alloy Orchestra release with the new lineup, 1999's Slapstick, is by design the group's wildest and most humorous work.

	Alloy Orchestra's "Metropolis" at Mass MoCA (7/1/00)
		What the Alloy’s score lacked in subtlety and sophistication was more than made up for in the built-in drama and no small degree of spectacle, both of the cinematic and aural kind.

		There is a fine line between supporting a film with interesting music and getting in the way of it, and at various times the trio threatened to overwhelm the action on the screen.

	Alloy Orchestra : Lonesome - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The Alloy Orchestra's soundtrack for what has been called America's last great silent film is probably their finest extended work.
		The score, led by group mastermind Caleb Sampson, has a similarly elegiac feel, moving subtly from dark, repetitive segments like "Subway" and "Factory" to brighter tunes before climaxing in the harrowing "Lost" and a heartbreaking reprise of the "Mary" theme.
		Sentimental without being mawkish, Lonesome is played absolutely straight, with little of the humor that leavens the Alloy Orchestra's other works.
