about

Buffalo, NY’s NIGHT SLAVES is an ongoing sonic experiment in constant evolution between Composer David Kane and John Toohill. This EP/Flexi “Benshi” is inspired by the 1926 Japanese silent film "A Page of Madness”. Teaming up with Justin Rowland, Night Slaves wrote an entirely new + original score for the film and then performed it LIVE on Halloween 2019. These are two excerpts from that score which were recorded shortly after the performance. More akin to 70’s electro-kraut rock and Italian horror soundtracks with a punk ethos than the traditional score, these songs stand alone as well as function as love letters to the film.
