John Carpenter, le réalisateur que j’adore est aussi scénariste, monteur, compositeur et producteur. Le réalisateur de 66 ans deThe Thing (1982) ou de New York 1997 (1981) va sortir son premier album solo non issu d’une bande originale de film. L’album Lost Themes créé avec la collaboration de son fils Cody Carpenter, sortira en février 2015 chez Sacred Bones Records. Voici un premier extrait :
Il explique :
« Lost Themes was all about having fun. It can be both great and bad to score over images, which is what I’m used to. Here there were no pressures. No actors asking me what they’re supposed to do. No crew waiting. No cutting room to go to. No release pending. It’s just fun. And I couldn’t have a better set-up at my house, where I depended on (collaborators) Cody (Carpenter, of the band Ludrium) and Daniel (Davies, who scored I, Frankenstein) to bring me ideas as we began improvising. The plan was to make my music more complete and fuller, because we had unlimited tracks. I wasn’t dealing with just analogue anymore. It’s a brand new world. And there was nothing in any of our heads when we started other than to make it moody. »
