Dovetail Orchestra provided an eclectic live accompaniment to classic and obscure silent films and animations. The Orchestra is led by Santa Fe composer/multi-instrumentalist Ross Hamlin, provides live musical accompaniment and sound design to an ongoing library of classic and obscure silent films and animations from a variety of origins. Using unconventional sounds and methods, along with both modern and time-honored instrumentation, this project endeavors to bring new appreciation to an under-appreciated cinematic lineage. A film scoring graduate from Berklee College of Music, Hamlin has been active in a myriad of eclectic ensembles and projects in Santa Fe since moving here in 2005.
