MusicDish Review: Johnoscar Cinema Paradiso

Johnoscar is a talented pianist who has performed as a soloist since the age of 17. In the release of his new album, Cinema Paradiso: A Night At the Movies, Johnoscar succeeds in allowing different musical interpretations of film scores for movies such as Metropolis, Move Camera, The Matrix, Suicide Squadron, Dangerous Moonlight, and Modern Times featuring Charlie Chaplin.

Through his compositions, he is able to shed light upon different venues of expressing character emotions. Johnoscar recreates a world of musical inspiration in his film scores to the point that he is able to pull his audience closer into the minds of the characters and their stories in each film. Being able to portray a wide range of emotions through instrument playing is a grand task that not many artists can accomplish. Johnoscar is one of the few talented composers who is able to do this, putting him in line with some of the few amazing composers of our time.

Ground Wire Music Opens for Business

Jason Mozersky and Jesse Ingalls, Grammy award-winning members of Ben Harper's band Relentless 7, have launched their new boutique music writing and production company, GroundWire Music. Based in Los Angeles, GroundWire Music will have its focus on writing, creating, and producing original content for film, television, advertising, and brand partnerships.

A native of San Antonio based in Austin, Texas, Mozersky played and recorded for many years with numerous rock bands, including Stevie Ray Vaughan's band Double Trouble. Composer Ingalls, a native of Washington D.C., studied classical and jazz music at the University of Texas in Austin, where the pair's musical collaboration began. They were mainstays in the blossoming Austin indie rock scene of the 2000s, and have been writing and performing together ever since. In 2008, Ingalls, Mozersky and drummer Jordan Richardson, joined forces with Ben Harper to form a new band, Relentless 7.

The talented founders of GroundWire have worked in studios and shared the stage with luminaries including Ben Harper, Eddie Vedder, Jackson Browne, Natalie Maines and Ringo Starr. Their work with Harper as lead guitarist and bassist in Relentless 7 has resulted in five world tours and six studio albums including Dixie Chick, Natalie Maines' critically acclaimed solo album Mother. They were awarded the Grammy for co-producing and performing on Harper's Best Blues Album of 2013, Get Up! with harmonica legend, Charlie Musselwhite.

Earlier this year, GroundWire Music teamed up with LA-based music supervisor, Lindsay Fellows (The Imitation Game). Together they produced national spots for the CBS EcoMedia campaign, Viewers to Volunteers. Mozersky and Ingalls wrote original material for the campaign, which currently is being aired on CBS television and numerous additional social media platforms. Fellows holds out great promise for GroundWire Music, stating "I've been blessed to have been able to work with so many great composers, but it's always exciting to find new artists with a fresh sound. I believe that these guys have all the ingredients that it takes to be incredibly successful."

GroundWire is currently working on a global project for Red Bull Media House, creating and producing original music for Red Bull films and television. Other credits include co-writing various songs used by the NFL, the television drama House, and cosmetic makeup giant, Mary Kaye.
