“I feel I have captured the essence of the movie in my score. It was exciting to write music for a movie I’ve deeply loved since I was a kid. I’m looking forward to the first performance in 10 years of this piece and am excited for the upcoming performances of my other silent film scores including ‘Der Golem,’ ‘Nosferatu,’ ‘Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ and ‘Phantom of the Opera,’” Bittler said.

Bittler has been composing music for nearly 40 years and is currently the keyboardist for Seattle-based original funk and soul band Bump Kitchen.
