Edison's Frankenstein

Composed as a live score to the turn-of-the-century inventor’s 1910 silent film, EDISON’S FRANKENSTEIN is an alluring and varied work for string quartet. Also performable as a standalone concert piece, Nishimura’s personally etched, quasi-impressionistic phrases make this work accessible and surprising at every turn.
