Each month at Bring the Noise, classic films are reimagined with a new score performed live, one night only, by a rotating group of guest musicians—featuring a who’s-who of acclaimed musical artists.

And here’s our interview with Bogart in the lead-up, putting together his reimaging of the Dollhouse soundtrack from his Highland Park rehearsal space:
