Not technically a #silentfilm show but I should probably add the hashtag since silent film ppl will be interested. And maybe someone's following #playerpiano? We'll see. What the heck: #fotoplayer.

End the new year with a clang! (and a tax deduction!)

We are fundraising to purchase a #Fotoplayer--a fantastic #PlayerPiano (it also has a keyboard so it can be played by our talented accompanists) with a range of different voices and sound effects--it's designed especially for #SilentMovie theaters. It's a local product, too, built in Berkeley, CA.

Here's a demo of the machine in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8m-Qmti1ug

More videos and a donation link here: https://nilesfilmmuseum.org/?tv=6391263150735360&to=6412761049595904

If you'd like to donate but want to avoid PayPal fees, you can write a check directly to the museum. Make checks payable to NESFM and write on the memo line--Fotoplayer. Also include a note with your name & email so you can be contacted about the premiere screening with the Fotoplayer after it is installed. Mail checks to:

Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum
37417 Niles Blvd
Fremont, CA 94536

Dans les cinémas muets, il n’y avait pas toujours seulement un pianiste. Il y avait aussi de drôles de machines qui faisaient piano mécanique et orgue, et pouvaient en plus produire des effets sonores innombrables : le photoplayer avec plusieurs fabricants et modèles, dont ce fotoplayer.

On a l’utilisation classique de rouleaux de papier perforés qui contiennent la musique, mais aussi tellement d’effets et de choix à faire en temps réel que l’opérateur en joue littéralement, comme le fait cet étonnant Joe Rinaudo.
