Former Banshee turns his talent to silent films - Nightlife - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington

Former Banshee turns his talent to silent films - Nightlife - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington:

"Like a journalist who turns to novel writing, Steven Severin, formerly of Siouxsie and the Banshees, has found a new medium for his talent. Severin composes music for films, but he doesn’t just score projects for directors. He also creates soundtracks for silent films and performs them, as he will do Friday in Olympia.

...“I’m not really interested in silent films per se; rather, I’m interested in re-scoring films that I feel I could add something to, enhance even,” he said. “It goes back to the late ’70s when I saw a screening of Kenneth Anger’s ‘Magick Lantern Cycle,’ and some of the original music had been replaced with a track by the Electric Light Orchestra, of all people.

“Naturally, I was incensed.”"
