DELHI — Bushel is pleased to host a film screening of the 1922 silent classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens; F.W. Murnaul dir.), with live music performed by a 5-member ensemble led by composer and pianist Mihoko Suzuki. Two performances will take place at Bushel, on Saturday, November 1, at 2 pm and 8 pm. Bushel is located at 106 Main Street, Delhi. Advance reserved seats are available for purchase on Bushel’s website: $20 for adults; $5 for youth under 18.
This is the third installment of Ciné Sonica, a series of live film concerts designed and scored by Mihoko Suzuki. For Nosferatu, Suzuki will be on keyboards, accompanied by Evan Jagels (double bass), Michael Suchorsky (drums), Ana Laura Gonzalez (flute), and Timothy Cramer (digitally enhanced voice). Suzuki explains, “Ciné Sonica’s approach to this classic of German Expressionist cinema is to blend tones, textures, ambiances, and timbral effects to create a spectral sonic accompaniment to Murnau’s retelling of Dracula.”
Doors open a half hour before the performances. Refreshments will be available. Advance reservations are highly recommended; tickets go fast for these unique, scored performances. Any remaining seats and standing room available at the door with cash or Venmo. Ciné Sonica’s live film concerts of Nosferatu, including discounted youth ticket rate, are funded in part by a Delaware County Arts Grant, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by the Roxbury Arts Group.

After receiving a degree in architecture from Pratt Institute, Timothy Cramer combined his lifelong interests in sound and visuals with the architectural, industrial design, and museum fields, where he has designed interactive music and educational exhibits. His current work utilizes digital processing systems, combined with a wide array of unorthodox techniques that he has developed for both audio and video presentations. With his experience in both the spatial and aural worlds, Cramer gravitated naturally toward his present function as sound/media designer for museum exhibitions, theatre, and films. Working out of his state-of-the-art ProTools HD 5.1 post-production studio, he has been experimenting lately with multi-channel extended vocal techniques that he titles musique d’ameublement (furniture music). Timothy is also one half of the duo @61 with partner Mihoko Suzuki as they perform their ultra-paradoxical sonic explorations for specialized audiences.
