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.
John Carpenter is a National Treasure
Thanks for everything you gave us over the years John. Your dreams, your nightmares, we enjoyed them all.
John didn't post this nor will he see your comment.
@@Tiffany.Horror That's fine. I said my thanks by going to see his movies in the theatres, watching them over the years, recommending them to others, and even showing them to my own kids (when they got old enough) to share my appreciation and teach them about film. Maybe my comment had no meaning or was just for me? Either way, this is still a semi-free country and I can say whatever I please.
What's your take on his music? His movies? Which is your favorite?
@@Tiffany.Horror get lost
@@naturallawman2965 I responded to Mr. Nobody with kindness. We're all under a lot of stress and maybe he just needs someone to be polite and reach out to him. I seek to create a dialogue, not a monologue.
You're very nice to stand up for me. The person who stands up for the stranger they don't know a true hero. You're a good person, but I challenge you to be better and open up to those that try to be hurtful. They could use your compassion more than I need your protection.
@@100Servings Are... are you jesus? :O
Four notes and we know that John Carpenter is back !
Was not expecting the guitar solo, but it fits sooo well.
Right! It fits so well to the sudden burst of action in the story.
Somehow ele guitar works with the retrowave
Reminds me of a shitty Lil Wayne solo
This should have hits in the millions.
Pearls before Swine.
It's absolutely gorgeous both music and artwork.
I just started hearing this after tonight’s commercial break. It’s eerie and makes you feel like you’re in a movie.
Adult swim?
same thank you adult swim
me too!
At this point I don't know if I prefer his movies or his music... :)
We are blessed to be able to enjoy both !
I can't wait to see him back on tour for the new album, the last tour was amazing !
Amazing how even his new music evokes those very same feelings as watching his movies brought us. Can't wait til his next tour!!
there wont be a next tour. Dont u understand that clip ??
@@uwehuber5018 monsieur charpenterie à de musique intéressante et original
@@uwehuber5018 don’t be a twat
@@uwehuber5018 😔
Great music that takes you to another place we all need to go at times.
I am addicted to this guy’s music!
I listen to Lost Themes 2 & 3 everyday.
Thank you John Carpenter for making music that is spellbinding and makes us feel so much 🙌🖤
This might be one of my favorite of the Lost Themes tracks. So haunting and beautiful
Vortex is the best
@@jasonalexander2413 I do love that one as well. Vortex is a killer track
This one and “Night”
YES Night (remix)and wraith and abyss from lost themes 1 are outstanding, id love to see or use them in a horror scene!!
Oh... that is The Thing I wanted to hear...
Yeah! John Carpenter is a legend in music and film!
Love it!
And also an avid gamer.
Wow I love John carpenter for yet another reason.... this!.....kudos to the film makers here❤️
Thank you!
I recently went into cardiac arrest 3 times and had a severe heart attack, the Dr told me I died. They shocked me something like 14 times I remember 2 times I was fully awake when they shocked me. This video gives a good sense of the emotions I felt during all that. The end of the video is currently where I am at.
Right at 1 year after this happened I'm still waiting for the tap on the shoulder. The fear I felt after waking up each time after each blackout was real. The paramedic in the ambulance telling me she had to perform CPR on me to restart my heart was the most frightening thing I have ever heard. Fighting with everything in me to keep my eyes open but I would still blackout, and knowing each time I would blackout that I was dieing.
So much powerful! I don´t even care if a famous movie stands behind the music or not. I just listen to the score and feel its emotion
The king of synthwave, this music is freaking amazing.
This is so inspiring, my brain gets flooded with ideas whenever I listen to Carpenter's stuff.
John, how can you always be the greatest of all time?! Amazing tune and clip!
That was wicked!! I loved the animation style and the visuals, and that 80s style horror synth music.... perfect! Also, I’m ashamed that I didn’t know that John Carpenter is also a composer. Ya learn something new everyday!
I am begin to think that Lost Themes III will be even better than previous two.;-)
Awesome feel, mood and atmosphere! This album is going to kick ass!
Stunning soundscape
What can you say really? This is awesome. Another haunting Carpenter track. Great video as well.
John is literally an universe of pure art at its best - big luv
great way of putting it
I love the surreal little details in the video. My favorite is the ticket booth with the strawberries caught in the spiderwebs. It's oddly whimsical and menacing.
Did you spot some easter eggs in the final scene too?
Not sure. There was a lot to take in .
@@LiamBrazier Coughing ...flu season ...r u tied in knots , sheeple ?
@@uwehuber5018 all the items on the table for a start.
Love it!!! Looking forward to the new album!!!😍
Magnificent very impressive ! ! !
Still the master. Please come back to cinema soon or netflix if cinema dies
JOHN CARPENTER IS BACK
Hope he never leaves :')
You say that like he ever left
Epic music and video. ♥️
Skeleton is my favorite III track so far, but this and the video are great too. Looking forward to the release of the entire album. Mr. Carpenter is a legend!
John Carpenter - I'm waiting for Lost Themes IV now. This one was excellent!
Whoa!
Brilliant! We live, as we dream - alone...
unsuprisingly great track!! and man!.. thats some profound imagery!🤘
it's nice to start the new year with new music from maestro Carpenter!
Fantastic.
Video of the year!
i remember when this first came out, such a dope track.
Long live John Carpenter!
John Carpenter still have a unique and magnificent visionary even after his "retirement". I wish if I could have a fraction of his talent. Where did all greatest directors go?
He is truly missed mate like you say and his talent is great not only in movie and music but in writing as well. So many great scripts. QT and PTA are still there but not many others (Scorsese & Eastwood but no new great newcomers)
@@PastorinoOlivier
> no new great newcomers
I totally agree with this. Probably John Carpenter is not a director who makes a expensive films but he had a signature. That's why a lot of people are gather here in the comment section.
But lately, there's no director who has a strong perspective against the world. It make me real sad. There's no movie which makes me say "woah, who the hell made this movie!?".
@@付和雷同-p9g sad but true indeed. We have to wait for the next genius to come but man he takes is time :-(
Happy Birthday, Legend
One of my tracks of the week 💙
This is about when I knew John, Cody and Daniel were in their bag and this installment was going to be my favorite.

John Carpenter is a Master of Horror and Music 🤘🤘🤘
A master of symbolism and predictive programming for 2001 , plus 19 Stonehenge moon years , for 2020. What’s insane is that nobody seems to understand it … AI…sacrifices …etc etc…Cough19… A is 1 …I is 19 in gematria

BANGERRR🔥🔥
John Carpenter should make one last movie - being an ultimate of all his most famous movies blended into one experience. PLOT: Jack Burton finds himself stranded in a derelict, post-apocalyptic city after his truck has broken down. However he soon discovers not only is he being stalked by serial killer, Michael Myers but also an alien lifeform, known only as THE THING. His only hope? Notorious outlaw Snake Plissken, a man on a mission to recover the President, who`s holed up with a group of survivors held captive by a violent street gang at Precinct 13
The master is back 💯💯
Superbe cette musique...! J'adore...!
Honestly that was an awesome video! Of course the music was great as well as always.
Pure genius!
This is incredible
Nice
I want a movie using these characters now, and why not make it a silent one too?
that movie is going on RIGHT NOW . Open ur eyes
This music would have been perfect for Dark
Chills. Loved it
Soooo cool. Reminiscent of a 70's horror suspense movie that was never made. Thank you JC.
It’s made since 2020. look at the symbolism. It’s more than obvious what the messages here are. Wake up !
Veramente bella musica
Thanks Toonami!
Super musique
Happy Birthday John! 1-16
great
Just stop what you do and listen carefully to this masterpiece!
