For many years, Tom Roberts toured as pianist with Leon Redbone, played with Vince Giordano's Nighthawks in New York, performed on Garrison Keillor's public radio program A Prairie Home Companion, and arranged music for films like Martin Scorcese's The Aviator.In early 2022, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the iconic expressionist silent horror film Nosferatu, Roberts was commissioned to compose a new score for the film. Nosferatu — a loose retelling of the Dracula story — is largely set in the fictional German town of Wisborg in 1838, with some sections taking place in the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania. Struck by the film's artistry and visual beauty, he decided that it deserved something more nuanced than the typical "scary" music often assigned to it. So, rather than attempt to compose overtly “scary” music, he drew inspiration from early German Romantic composers like Schumann, Schubert, and Brahms, as well as from traditional Romanian music, with the goal to plunge the audience into the shifting worlds of Nosferatu, not just through the film's striking visuals, but through the atmospheric music he created to surround them.
