The silent film is popular with musicians and has been scored by many groups. It was one of the first films scored by Silent Orchestra and performed by them at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC in 2000.[5] This was the first film to be scored by live accompaniment band Minima.[6] Their debut performance was at the UK's Shunt Vaults at London Bridge in 2006. It has also been rescored by Steven Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Black Cat Orchestra.[7]
Sons of Noel and Adrian performed a live score at The Roundhouse in June 2009.[8] In March 2011, Imogen Heap performed an a cappella score of her own composition with the Holst Singers as part of the Birds Eye View festival.[9]
In January 2012, a new score to a director's cut of The Seashell and the Clergyman was released by the artist Roto Visage on Kikapu.[10] This score was released in conjunction with Transflux Films and with a Creative Commons license.
