Description
Since the release of 2016's Lost Themes II, a lot has changed in the musical journey of the well - known composer and director John Carpenter. After that album, he embarked on his very first concert tour, presenting music from the Lost Themes series and his iconic film scores. In 2017, alongside his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, he re - recorded classic movie themes for the Anthology album. The next year, he was invited to executive produce and compose the music for the new Halloween movie by David Gordon Green, which quickly became the top - grossing entry in the series. Now, after nearly five years, he's back with his first non - soundtrack album, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death. Carpenter's musical comeback is largely thanks to his collaboration with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. They've worked together as a trio on studio albums, soundtracks, and on stage. In this album, their creative synergy reaches new heights. Davies' guitar and the Carpenters' dueling synthesizers create rich, immersive musical worlds. John describes their creative process as starting with a catchy theme, bass line, or pad, and then gradually building layers. They've learned to understand each other's skills and limitations and communicate wordlessly, making the process smoother than before. The original Lost Themes album was a delightful surprise after Carpenter's long period of relative quiet. Now, with the success of the 2018 Halloween score, he's in the middle of a cultural resurgence. His new album is released into a world that finally recognizes his status as a pioneer of modern electronic music.
