Podcast: Precinct 13: The Movies and Music of John Carpenter
Episode: Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998
Description: We're switching things up a little bit this week, taking a step back from our discussion of Carpenter's film-directing career to focus on a 2017 album that showcases his talents as a composer. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 features re-recorded and newly orchestrated versions of a large selection of classic Carpenter movie themes, with musical support from his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies. Chris and Nick break it all down track-by-track and discuss Carpenter's stylistic choices, his off-the-cuff way of composing, and his uncanny ability to conjure up atmosphere that's perfectly suited to his films.
