Responsible for projects such as Chromatics, Desire, and Glass Candy, and author of soundtracks for series and films that are part of TV and Cinema history, such as Twin Peaks, Drive, and Bronson, he was in Lisbon at the new Casa Capitão, which has hosted some of the best shows that have passed through the capital.
Johnny Jewel is one of the most tireless artists of the last two decades, founder of the groups Glass Candy and Desire, as well as the label Italians Do It Better. The American also joined Chromatics, to whom Jewel introduced vocalist Ruth Radalet, who would lend her voice to the band’s greatest hits.
In 2008, he made his debut in the film world writing, composing, and recording the soundtrack for Bronson, by Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn. Three years later, he collaborated with Refn again on Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, and was once again responsible for composing and recording the film’s soundtrack. Among various projects, Johnny Jewel also appeared in the third season of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks as a member of Chromatics, in a scene where the band performs live in a bar.
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Johnny Jewel was instrumental in transforming music and film, giving prominence to synthesizers and electronic drums from the 70s and 80s, creating nostalgic and dreamy atmospheres that paint a kaleidoscopic landscape that has become one of his trademarks.
At Casa Capitão, Johnny Jewel presented music he created for all these iconic films and series, not forgetting his solo catalog, which already includes six LPs.
