Just uploaded this video to YouTube. This was aired in January 2000, during MoMA’s six-month silent film series coinciding with their museum-wide “MoMA 2000” gallery exhibitions. I was playing for 5-8 shows a week. If my years at NYU as an accompanist was silent film accompaniment boot camp – as I often refer to it – this was a master’s degree in the field, as well as a chance to make a living as a silent film accompanist and take a break from doing tech support in law offices for almost half a year.
