The latest single by Korean-born, California-raised electronic film composer and producer George Sarah blends the perfect mix of electronic pop, soaring synths, and the undeniable voice of Angela McCluskey, who has graced the airwaves with unforgettable songs like Breathe by (Télépopmusik). Sarah, formerly of T.H.C. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and songwriter in the dark wave/Industrial project Stereotaxic Device, incorporates his style of melodic melodies with depth and beauty. The song was recorded before McCluskey's untimely passing in 2024 and was completed by Sarah in 2025.
I received the unfortunate news that Anthony Stewart Head passed. We wrote and recorded an album together called Music for Elevators. It was a 9-month writing and recording process that started as jam sessions at my home where we came up with roughly 20 song ideas and then refined what we believed to be something worth while to record. An independent label supported us, and we invited various guests to contribute to songs that were mostly written by the two of us with the exception of two covers and a piano concerto performed by Tony’s mother. I can’t say I have too many people in my corner, however, Tony was definitely one of them.
He invited me to hang out during shoots (the food on set was amazing with plant based options,) I discovered this when I was asked to perform on Buffy prior to our collaboration, and after the release of our album, he joined me at my concerts to perform a few songs, and it was always a blast, bringing much humor and positive energy. We wrote a song about death called End Game. It was dedicated to one of his close friends who had passed after a long illness. My favorite line he wrote for the song is ‘Finite, sight unseen, we choose the path we walk.’ He called me dude because he thought everyone in Los Angeles referred to friends that way. Rest in Peace, Dude.

Join us for a powerful screening of Sergei Eisenstein’s groundbreaking silent film Battleship Potemkin, now re-imagined through a live score composed by George Sarah. Known for bridging electronic, classical and chamber music traditions, Sarah brings his unique sonic voice to this cinematic masterpiece—integrating string quartet textures, a five-voice vocal ensemble, and subtle electronic elements to transform the screening into a multisensory experience.
The film charts the 1905 uprising aboard the Russian battleship Potemkin, a cinematic landmark whose montage, rhythm and emotional energy still resonate. Under Sarah’s score, the visuals are echoed and amplified: the strings underscore dramatic tension and camaraderie; the voices give human edge to mass uprising; the electronics add depth and contemporary resonance. The result is an event where silent-film history meets live music vitality.
Set in Sierra Madre Playhouse’s intimate setting, you’ll hear every phrase of the quartet, feel the breath of the voices, and watch the images as if for the first time. This isn’t just a screening—it’s a concert, a revival, and a moment of connection between film, sound, and live presence. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of cinema’s boldest works with a live score crafted for today’s audience.
