Thorsten “Q” Quaeschning, Keyboarder at Tangerine Dream, one of the world leading Electronic Music bands, is head of the Project “Picture Palace music”. Main idea of the group is to reproduce the musical dynamic and experiments of old “live” accompaniment for silent movies and to give them a modern soundtrack with nowadays technical options. This shows that the old silent movies are not “moldy” They are timeless and fascinating! The music is inspired by more than eighty years old silent movies. Take a deep trip into a mystical world of sounds!
