Host & Producer Marielou Mandl (@MarielouMandl) interviews Composer, Kris Bowers!

ABOUT KRIS BOWERS:

Emmy-winning composer, Kris Bowers, scores compositions that step beyond the traditional boundaries of genre to form new and thrilling music. Bowers currently scores Netflix’s critically acclaimed “Dear White People,” and Shonda Rhimes’ “For The People,” starring Hope Davis. As a composer of color in network television, Bowers is in a small group of composers closing the diversity gap, and at 29 years old, stands as the youngest composer scoring a network TV show.

Bowers recently wrote the music and lyrics for an original song featured as the main theme and end credits for “Madden NFL 19: Longshot,” the latest ‘story mode’ entry in the long-running “Madden” video game franchise, launching August 10. Earlier this year, Bowers scored the critically-acclaimed drama, “Monsters and Men” which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and is having its Canadian premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival before releasing in theaters October 5. He recently completed the score for Peter Farrelly’s latest drama, “Green Book,” starring Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali and Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen, in theaters November 21. In addition to scoring the film, Bowers was the piano-playing double for Ali and performed all the on-camera piano playing in the film.

Bowers has scored a wide range of films including Amazon’s TV movie “The Snowy Day,” for which Bowers won a Daytime Emmy. He composed for “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me,” starring Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey, “Seeds of Time,” “Play it Forward,” “Kobe Bryant’s Muse,” featuring Kobe Bryant, and “I Am Giant: Victor Cruz.” He also scored “Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You,” which premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and “Little Boxes” which premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival and was purchased by Netflix.

In addition to composing for film and television, Bowers has recorded and performed with artists such as Q-Tip, Aretha Franklin, Marcus Miller, José James, Ludacris, Christian Rich, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. He was commissioned by the Alvin Ailey dance company to create an original composition for “Untitled America,” a modern ballet piece that shines a light on the impact of the prison system on Africa-American families. The ballet was choreographed by Kyle Abraham, a MacArthur Genius Grant winner, with whom Bowers is a long-time collaborator. Furthermore, Bowers’ rich and eclectic sensibilities can be heard in his debut album with Concord Jazz, “Heroes + Misfits”, which opened at number one on the iTunes jazz chart.

Bowers, a Juilliard-trained musician, has received numerous awards and accolades for his excellence in jazz performance. Bowers was one of 40 artists selected to perform at the White House for the 2016 International Jazz Day, hosted by President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama. In 2011, he also won the coveted Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, where Aretha Franklin picked Bowers as a favorite to win during the semi-finals concert. Moreover, he was named a Steinway Artist, one of twelve iTunes “Artists to Watch” and was one of six composers to participate in the Sundance Film Composers Lab at Skywalker Sound in 2015.

Bowers resides in Los Angeles, CA.

THE ICARUS LINE:

Adark dramatic narrative set against the backdrop of the current LA underground music scene, will be released theatrically in June 2018 with a July home entertainment release in the U.S.

The story of Cardamone as he navigates his way through the ups and downs of the modern music landscape with a new album and a major label deal in sight, while trying to keep his band, his relationship and his life from falling apart.

The Icarus Line were notorious during the early 2000s, touring and tearing up the world with their brand of Birthday Party-style chaos. Picking fights with bands like the Strokes – Cardamone, a member of the Buddyhead collective once spray-painted ‘Sellouts Suckn Dicks’ on the side of their tourbus – and smashing up Stevie Ray Vaughn’s guitar at SXSW – the band lived fast.

Host & Producer Marielou Mandl (@MarielouMandl) interviews Composer, John Massari!

ABOUT JOHN MASSARI:

Composer John Massari’s musical imprint has been all over film and television for the past 30 years. It
all started with a triple feature at a movie theater when he was six, which taught John that “music is like
magic – it can transform you in ways that are indescribable”.

After studying at UCLA, John worked for and was mentored by David Rose, Jerry Fielding and later
Mark Snow. John began composing for television, first at Hanna-Barbara working on some of their
classic cartoons like JONNY QUEST, THE SMURFS, and RICHIE RICH, and later at Walt Disney
Studios working on THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY. For almost 10 years, he composed
music for one of HBO’s first original series, THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER.

While working on THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER, John was invited to audition to compose music for
what would be the movie he is best known for, the 1988 cult classic KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER
SPACE. This May 2018 will be the 30 th anniversary of the release of KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER
SPACE – John will be headlining a special celebration of the film with a live-to- film concert of the score.
John has created music for iconic brands such as Disney, HBO, MGM and Sony Pictures, composed
for a number of TV series, made-for- TV movies and worked extensively with Sparkhill Productions on
documentary features about epic Hollywood films and legendary performers. His upcoming projects
include the comedy/horror film CHEROKEE CREEK, indie film CRUEL HEARTS, and the feature length
VR film JESUS VR: THE STORY OF CHRIST. His music continues to be heard on TV shows like THE
DR. OZ SHOW and MY CRAZY EX.
