John Piscitello

Historia

John Piscitello is an American composer whose scores have been called "sublime" and "exquisite". His acclaimed soundtrack to No Place on Earth was called a "masterpiece" and is available from Varèse Sarabande. John grew up playing string bass and electric bass in nearly every imaginable genre. In between a Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Science from MIT and an MBA from Harvard Business School, John performed in Boston clubs and as principal bassist for the New England Philharmonic. Following a career in engineering and product management for MOTU and Google, John studied at San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the European American Musical Alliance in Paris, and the Screen Scoring program at USC Thornton. John provided a "vividly striking" (Film Music Magazine), "gorgeous" (Film Score Monthly) orchestral score for No Place on Earth, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the documentary audience award at the Hamptons International Film Festival. John works at a recording studio in his home in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Aliona and their two kids Sacha and Sonya.

Mike Wallace Is Here
Music
Denominado como el "enemigo del pueblo" por el actual presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, el periodismo en Norteamérica se encuentra en horas bajas. Mentiras, "fake news" (noticias falsas), propaganda y tretas verbales amenazan con destruir lo poco que queda de honestidad en la Primera Enmienda. Mike Wallace representó durante más de cinco décadas la panacea del periodismo tal y como se concibió en sus orígenes, con un estilo duro y sin concesiones que le convirtió en uno de los entrevistadores más importantes de la historia de su país. Este documental explora su legado con la intención de recordar a las nuevas generaciones por qué el periodismo es uno de los pilares fundamentales de la democracia pese a los esfuerzos que algunas figuras públicas realizan a diario para desmentir este hecho.
