Sounding Sentimental: Music for Silent Film and Composing for The Sentimental Bloke

When composing her folk-rock score to accompany The Sentimental Bloke, Jen Anderson considered the historical 'authenticity' of her style and instruments, as well as the celebrated 'Australianness' of this early silent film. Jeannette Delamoir writes that Anderson's score successfully allows today's audiences to experience the film in a way that would have been very similar to that of the film's original audiences.
