From Fango:
"John Carpenter is a master, both of cinema and of the score. His themes are iconic and endlessly influential, hallmarks and originators of a beloved style of composing as well as catchy as all hell (ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 practically loops in many of our heads). It was understandable then when admirers across fandoms and professions (fans, filmmakers, musicians) lit up upon the news of an impending new album from the artist. Entitled LOST THEMES, and arriving this winter from Sacred Bones Records, the album was described as tracks composed by Carpenter without any films in mind and the news of which was accompanied by stellar song “Vortex†and a collage video set to Carpenter clips. Following a weekend to digest and groove comes the full details on LOST THEMES.
LOST THEMES is out February 3, 2015 on Sacred Bones and Carpenter says it “…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.â€"
