The Angel of the Odd and Film The Angel of the Odd are creating a repertoire built around the German expressionist silent classics - for the uninitiated, these are as far away from the hammed-up are of Hollywood at the time, as our orchestra is from melodramatic piano plunking.

The maturity and emoitonal complexity of these movies lend themselves to our treatment - alloting the interpretation of each screen character to the intuition of an individual soloist. This allows an instant response to on-screen events. We can pick up subtle nuances and highlight drama...
and most of all we will surprise you...
...with help from a range of unusual sound effects and from the singers of the Odd Opera Chorus. Yes, we have a sense of humour!

But Morgan's lush harmonies and resonant orchestrations mean we are about more than making colourful animal noises. We will introduce you to a new, intruiging and emotionally involving experience as well. You might call it reel music.

We perform at unusual and atmospheric venues in London chosen to reflect the concept of each film - from lecture theatres to loony bins - and we tour with these unique pieces as well.
