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.

Scottish synth pop sensations Chvrches have a history of commissioning remixes for each of their chart topping albums. Given the cinematic concept of their latest Screen Violence they wanted to get a composer involved who worked in that universe. Singer and percussionist Lauren Mayberry said that the master of horror John Carpenter was the top of their wish list. They decided to reach for the stars and contact Carpenter’s team and to their delight Carpenter was excited by the idea.

Carpenter’s remix of the Chvrches song “Good Girls,” created alongside his creative partners Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, enhances the depths of the song’s already infectious synthesizer melodies and adds his signature slightly sinister swagger and groove.

“We chose the track we did because we connected with it the most and felt it would adapt best to our style,” Carpenter said of the song choice. “After we finished our remix, we asked them if they could also remix one of our songs in return, and they thought it was a great idea.” Carpenter could hear the strength of combining these two vastly different but stylistically symbiotic sounds and Chvrches was more than happy to oblige. They chose a standout track from Carpenter’s recent Lost Themes III album “Turning the Bones” and the resulting remix is equally as dynamic and unique. Collaborating across genres and generations these artists have honored a deep respect from one another.
