**The Idiomatics** perform their original film score to **Charlies Chaplin's classic silent film, The Adventurer (1917)**. The live score features a lush, groove-drenched soundscape blending electronica and acoustic instrumentation: cello, trombone, saxophones, vocals, keys, flutes, clarinets, percussion and vintage sound effects – all combining to create a vibrant, cinematic experience.

The Adventurer was first presented as part of the **Silent Cinema series at Federation Square** in February 2026 and we are very excited to bring the film to Kindred.

Sally Ford: voice, flutes, alto sax

*(please note, The Adventurer will be performed in the second half after a set of original music from the band and guests in the first half)*

**The Adventurer | 1917 | 27 minutes**

One of Charlie Chaplin's most exhilarating and comedic short films, showcasing an early portrayal of Chaplin's iconic Little Tramp character as an escaped convict. Opening with a thrilling prison escape, the film launches into a fast-paced series of chases, close calls and physical gags that highlight Chaplin's extraordinary athleticism and impeccable comic timing. Set against seaside backdrops and high-society pretensions, The Adventurer blends slapstick chaos with sharp social satire. Bursting with energy, romance and laugh-out-loud moments, this classic silent film is a masterclass in visual storytelling and remains a joyful introduction to Chaplin's early film career.

**Sally Ford and the Idiomatics**

Formed in 2022, The Idiomatics bring together an impressive lineup of musicians with backgrounds spanning latin, ska, jazz, funk, folk, and film composition. Fusing story-led songwriting with sonic experimentation and contemporary sound design, the Idiomatics have crafted a distinct and dynamic sound. The band has performed at Melbourne venues including the Brunswick Ballroom, Paris Cat, Athenaeum Library, Post Office Hotel and Kindred Bandroom, as well as feature shows at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Federation Square, Malthouse Outdoor Stage and festivals around Victoria.
