In this episode: Ben recaps his month’s activities in March 2024, talks about the subtleties of underscoring dramatic moments when a main character thinks through an important decision, a creative way to invent main themes for a program of 7 animated shorts, accompanying a 1914 “Italian Diva” melodrama, and picking up on something about the film from its spoken introduction that affected the score created during the show; plus live-performance excerpts from scores for “Shoes” (1916) by Lois Weber at NYU, a restored Koko the Clowns cartoon at MoMA, and “Sangue Bleu” (1914) at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò; and more.
