John Carpenter is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, editor and composer. Born on January 16, 1948 in Carthage, New York, he is known for directing movies such as "Assault On Precinct 13", "The Fog", "Escape From New York", "The Thing", and "Halloween". Carpenter himself composed most of the soundtracks for his films, often collaborating with Alan Howarth. His father Howard Carpenter and son Cody Carpenter are also talented composer/musicians. He was previously married to actress Adrienne Barbeau from 1979 to 1984.

In addition to his work in film, John Carpenter's music has had a significant impact. In the eighties, dancey versions of his music were released on LPs and a series of 12" records. These recordings were created by [a243061], although their involvement was not always mentioned on the album sleeves.

With a diverse range of talents spanning multiple artistic disciplines, John Carpenter continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. His unique blend of directing and composing has left an indelible mark on cinema and music alike.

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/john-carpenter">John Carpenter</a> has been responsible for much of the horror genre's most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he's both directed and scored.

The themes can instantly flood his fans' musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung fu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on Lost Themes asks Carpenter's acolytes to visualize their own nightmares. As is Carpenter's style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of these tracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnerving pianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/john-carpenter">Carpenter's</a> past works, as well as ancestors like Mike Oldfeld's Tubular Bells and Goblin's Suspiria.

"They're little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations. Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could be scored with this music."
