I’m certain none of the eight Sardinian composers had Frank “Buster” Keaton nor silent films in mind when composing this music and in the hands of lesser talent, these compositions would not yield the spectacular visuals that Sanna’s performance accomplishes. Listen to the music here with your mind’s eye and visualize the inner cinema it creates.
