Much has changed in the musical life of renowned composer and director John Carpenter since 2016’s Lost Themes II. Following the release of that album, he went on his first-ever concert tour, performing material from the Lost Themes albums, as well as music from his classic film scores. He re-recorded many of those classic movie themes for 2017’s Anthology album, working alongside son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies. The following year, he was asked to executive produce and compose the music for the new Halloween movie directed by David Gordon Green, which promptly became the highest-grossing installment in the series. Now, he returns with his first album of non-soundtrack music in nearly five years, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death.
Underpinning Carpenter’s renaissance as a musician has been his collaboration with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. They’ve composed and performed as a trio throughout this entire run, on studio albums, on soundtracks, and onstage. Here, the trio reaches a new level of creative mind meld. Richly rendered worlds are built in the interplay between Davies’s guitar and the dueling synthesizers played by the Carpenters.
“We begin with a theme, a bass line, a pad, something that sounds good and will lead us to the next layer,” John says of the trio’s process. “We then just keep adding on from there. We understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, how to communicate without words, and the process is easier now than it was in the beginning. We’ve matured.”
John called the first Lost Themes album “a soundtrack for the movies in your mind.” On Alive After Death, those movies are even more vivid. The song titles here are among his most evocative, too. Lead single “Weeping Ghost” thrillingly conjures its title figure in a wash of synthesizer, making the listener’s neck hairs stand on end as the aural specter stalks the halls of a dilapidated mansion. The pulsing “The Dead Walk” makes the zombie apocalypse feel like a rave. The gloomy, atmospheric closing track “Carpathian Darkness” casts shadow on the album with its strikingly effective minimal piano and splashes of twinkling synth. Each of the ten songs is a universe unto itself.
Whereas the original Lost Themes album came as a pleasant surprise after years of relative silence from Carpenter, the third installment sees him in the midst of a resurgent moment as a cultural force. The 2018 Halloween score gave his music its biggest audience in decades, and the world he releases his new album into is one that has, at long last, given him the credit he deserves as a founding father of modern electronic music.

Carpenter, a man who helped define the 1980's is now reshaping the 2020's. 🤘
He's a genius.
Lol well somebody has too, it sucks
Amen, bro
When I was a kid I would literally worry that Carpenter would one day retire and we'd never hear from him creatively again. Thank god for JC and his musical prowess!
He's producing some TV shows too, so I hope we can get a pilot episode directed by Carpenter (it's been a while). In '21 we'll have both Lost Themes III and Halloween Kills OST so we'll definitely have lots of music to listen to :)
@@stefanmrkonjic9279 I'll be honest when I say I think he's lost his interest in making films and does it purely as a named market (which I don't blame him as he doesn't owe us anything) and I think music is his only real creative outlet now. This may have something to do with the fact that he gets to work with his son and godson :)
@@fatjabba74 And don't forget comics, he co- wrote some great stuff like Old Man Jack (sequel to the Big Trouble in Little China) and The Joker: Year of a Villain comic for DC.
What you said!
I saw my first movie of his in 1983 at the theater, Christine, and bought my first soundtrack of his that same year, Escape From New York, still have it, on LP, it kicks, sounds the best.
we need a survival horror with carpenter in the soundtrack
It's called 2020.
why does this man's music speak directly to my soul?
Oh my god it's like he lifted the choir vocals from Prince of Darkness!
Right? I got that same vibe.
Exactly what I was thinking and came to these comments to see if other people were saying.
This is one of Carpenter‘s best themes ever.
Isn't it just awesome that despite so many things going off the rails, that John Carpenter is still making awesome music?
From a fan of both your films📼 and your music 🎶
Thank you. 👍
This is phenomenal. I love that Carpenter is embracing the sounds of old and new and creating music that wildly belies his years.
Aptly stated, like a true C H A D 👍
Your fans love you, John.
genial.. Thank you sir J Carpenter¡ lux ¡
is the Great Genius of the real Creativity ¡ yeah ¡ Sir JC¡
In John Carpenter we trust
Now we just need a film (directed by the Great One obvs!) to go with this awesome track!!
the visual here is a tease!
The number one 👌👑
This third album is shaping up to be the darkest so far i think!
John Carpenter is all about the 'shape'.
Can he make this movie already??? He's already has the opening title sequence and soundtrack!!!!
When I was young I loved his movies. Now I'm almost old and I'm loving his music! John Carpenter IS the greatest for me!
You're never old until you let yourself be
This man is a genius...
I think this is probably the most memorable and intense track Carpenter has released in his series of Lost Themes. I could put it on repeat indefinitely...
Oh Ive had in on loop for days
great writing music
Wonderful track. It will be one of the best albums of 2021. 🧟
Assault on precinct 13 soundtrack is one of my favorites of all time
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE I love escape from new York and big trouble in little china awsome soundtracks
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE the thing is so good it makes new horror pathetic by comparison
His style is unique
Carpenter is one of the greatest
By the end, I was banging my head, and can picture a cast of survivors busting the heads of zombies while running through grimly lit streets.
This is my first JC track that I intentionally listened to. This is juicy.
John Carpenter is like the Bob Dylan of horror/suspense. I listened to this while watching Assault on Precinct 13 for a good buzz clip and was NOT disappointed. John...
Good work, man. Glad to see you're still in it!
He's The Man when it comes to Music
His work is one of the reasons why many people make music. An inspiration from the 70s until today.
So happy we got to see him live a few years ago. My cinematic hero.
When I was young I loved his movies
john carpenter just as good a music composer as a director love his music as much as his movies
Bloody good. Really bloody good.
Never stop doing your thing, Carpenter!
Master.
JC is the king. A style all his own. Amazing
John Carpenter should make an updated version of his "They Live", including web mass surveillance, facial recognition, web leaks, etc.
I can listen to John Carpenter music all day
Best track of Lost Themes III so far!
I went for a walk at night with my ears buds cranked to this. Put me in the coolest darkest mood ever. Kept it on a loop.
He should make a movie with this title. And I love the typical style of the font of the title...
The Master ✊🏿🤘🏾🖤🤎
Carpenter claiming his name back from the Brut(e). Love how one can hear him taking inspiration from contemporary synthwave, which is a genre that likely would not exist without him in the first place. A true artist.
Love John Carpenter. Brilliant artist!!! Nuff said!!!!
I just wish John would do 1 last movie! come on John your fans are waiting for one last ride
The master of horror synth, at it again.
This definitely has that 80s-90s anthology feel to it.
Absolute fire. These tracks are dream films from Carpenter films that don't exist yet. Love it.
the visual for this video is really cool too. damn i would love to see a new JC flick with such imagery.
To put it simply, John Carpenter is the greatest.
I couldn't agree more.
I guess I can understand why they don't, but you'd think Blumhouse (which the success of halloween and their general low budget mantra) would just blanket-fund Carpenter with 20 or 30 mil for whatever.
SUPER 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I thought "maybe a synthwave variation" but I was wrong. It's john Carpenter's finest!
These tracks just keep getting better and better
2:42 gave me some original 'Phantasm' score chills.
great song
This one especially grows on you. It is direct and deep and would've been a great anthem for one of his older style movies. Very well done in my humble opinion 😎👍
John Carpenter is the man
This just made the top of my list. It sounds like it would be in a timesplitters multiplayer map.
I've been hooked since Lost Themes! I hope this is a preview of Lost Themes III. I play these in my car constantly amd pretend I'm in a movie lol!
It says it's from Lost Themes III in the description.
Dude is one of my favorite movie directors, writers, and musicians. Dude is just fkn awesome.
This video absolutely blew my mind.
Thanks JC
The GOAT ;-)
He's still got it \m/
Wow !!! Brilliant !
Very very nice rendition , thanks from Italy
This Man and his Music are so Phenomenal and all i have too say is Thank You Mr. John Carpenter for your great work 😘
Absolute awesome
best way to start a day
Wow this one is just amazing. It hits right in the feels and it gives a brand new interesting vibe. One of the best so far.
Magnificent.
Love it !!! It is incredible how JC manages to create such personal atmosphere right from the beginning. Back when Halloween came out in 2018, I remember the soundtrack was the best thing of it.
No one does this better!
Beautiful stuff! Thank you Mr. Carpenter, you've been giving me chills my entire life. You are a true artist, who continues to provide us with these wondrous gifts!
Amazing song !!!❤️
Gold.
Ohhh man! So hyped for this album!!!
Awesome!! All DAAAYYY!!!
SOO GOOD
I get goose bumps and my body trembles 🤫
hot damn this is good. what a tune!
Superb👍
Outstanding :-D
What we love for the 2020s! ^^
I do hear the same synth in this what he used on Sentinel Returns soundtrack back in 1998.
I’m so glad he has a youtube channel. Him and his son are incredible musicians!
Großartig 💯 Danke John für diesen wieder mal genialen Track 👌
Excelente!!!😎🔊🎶
John Carpenter is a god. He is the most influential person in my life - and I'm neither a director or a composer! Love this man.
DOG Carpenter!
Sameeee
We need this movie.
piano has a very NIN feel to it
As someone who grew up in the 80's, I remember watching Halloween when I was probably 6-7 years old and even then loving the opening music, then Escape From New York, The Fog, one great film after another. His music is still excellent and is better than most of the compositions out there.
hell yeah
Un altro gran pezzo senza ombra di dubbio
Génial
Woa Godness please make us again movie too i love all you did saw your movies more than 10 times we are lucky a mastor of Horror and sf still alive please don't give up us you can even make it on netfix if cinema still close...
❤❤❤ Happy New Year John 😱🎶🎬
Very good.
Good jam for an fast pace action movie - nothing I would sit and dig!
Beautiful and apocalyptic 😎
Good stuff!
🙌🙌🙌
"Err, don't mind me?"
"Be my guest. I'm just standing here, smouldering."
"To this utterly sick tune?"
"But naturally! Nice trainers, by the way."
