Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra

Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra is a three-person group organized by Ken Winokur to write and perform a new improvisational score for Ken Brown’s silent film Psychedelic Cinema (1969). The group has been performing since 2014 and has performed in the United States at Mass Moca, Cornell University, Hamilton College, Boston’s Museum of Contemporary Art, AFI Silver, and many other places. Internationally, the group has toured with additional Croatian musicians at venues in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Kosovo.

In 2023, Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra composed a new score for the silent film, South: Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance Expedition (1919). The group is ongoing and currently booking performances for 2025.
