It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. In the years since, Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies have released close to a dozen musical projects, including a growing library of studio albums and the scores for David Gordon Green’s trilogy of Halloween reboots. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone. The noir quality, then, is something you understand instinctively when you hear it. “Some of the music is heavy guitar riffs, which is not in old noir films,” Davies notes. “But somehow, it’s connected in an emotional way.”
The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine-the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results. - Hudba
I'm so lucky to live in a time where John Carpenter is still making music.
fuck yes!
Totally agree!
I love listening to his music and have it on my playlist
Too true
Amen!
I can't believe how long it took me to realize John Carpenter the director and the composer were the same person. How can someone be so freaking talented?? This song is such a mood!!
A lot like Danny Elfman🙆🏼♂️
A TRUE RENAISSANCE MAN
Literally just went through this lol.
I absolutely thought they were two separate people. Amazed.
Well, it's never too late to check all the soundtracks he did for his own movies...
Ok, I'm just waking up to this too. I don't know the actress in this but she just absolutely has to be French?
I don’t need Carpenter to make any more movies. He’s given us plenty, and we are so lucky to get to experience his career renaissance in music. We love you, John.
Excatly! My words! Go John! Go! 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@michalslatina8004 I wouldn't mind if he scored a movie or two
@@Luke_Stoltenberg He did. Remake of Firestarter. 👍👌
He should make a noir or a western.
I think he'd be better off on consulting on video games.
Imagine Snake Plissken walking down a dark street ready for the final battle
I'd love crossover movie Snake Plissken and MadMax- Escape from the Wastelands.
So awesome
Ohhh yeah....
@@lv2465That sounds fucking tight!
Right on point. 👍👍🐍
Hes living the dream, still making music with his son. That must be an incredible feeling
Yes, the Dad dream. Now if he can only pull off the rescue your family from danger fantasy.
And the music is fucking FLAME ‼️
* his sonS (he raised Daniel like his own son).
Damn, it would be so cool if John made another movie. Noir with own music and Kurt Russell
😏
Take my money
Big Trouble trying to Escape New York
Or
Escape from Little China
Wish a studio would give John a proper budget and creative freedom to give us one last movie!
Same, but I assume he’s just happy making tunes.
Let him rest in retirement he contributed to the film 🎥 as a body of work I am enjoying his musical performances.
You had it.... I even saw it in the theater... it was called the ward and it was awful.
He doesn’t want to make films anymore. He’s said he can’t do it well enough anymore. He just wants to chill and get high now.
The Thing is getting re told by Carpenter... :)
Is this THE John Carpenter? I knew he did music but damn this is good
Yep! THE John Carpenter. It's the single for his next "Lost Themes" album.
Unmistakably
And Daniel Davies is his godson, who is the son of Kinks guitarist Dave Davies
Oblivion Rules🤯
This is the John Carpenter channel bro, lol. Subscribe!
It is something special that if you are 20 or 100 years old and your name is John Carpenter you will always be Super Cool. He is the GOAT
Thank you for everything, Mr. Carpenter.
I seriously can't stop listening to this. I feel like it's a perfectly fitted hoodie.
How sick would it be if John did the HEAT 2 soundtrack for Michael Mann. This track is so KILLER!!!
dude yes!
Дуже дивне співпадіння: я як раз думав і згадував сцени з фільму THE HEAT Майкла Манна, коли прослуховував цю пісню: енергія і вайби ті самі.
Квінтесенція крутості.
Я вже 10 разів переслухав за сьогодні. Крута пісня 🏆
I agree.
Dropping Natalie Mering in there is so crazy.
We're getting Lost Themes IV! This is so awesome! 🙌
There are 3.
@@FijiFlowerthat is why he said about number IV waiting for a new album... Move that last neuron
Lost Themes 3 is one of my favorite vinyl listens. Never gets old. Skeleton is timeless.
John Carpenter is such a badass.
I've liked Carpenter for over 40 years. Today I have another confirmation with this electro/Rock sound. The video t👀
No one looks so damn cool standing behind the keyboard and pushing the keys like John Carpenter!
No wonder he gave birth to such ultimate cool icons like Wilson or Snake.
Great music all three of you guys! Keep it coming!
John Carpenter never misses when it comes to his soundtracks!!! 🤘🏻😎
Ghosts of Mars
😂@@volca8421
@@volca8421I was gonna say 😂
@@volca8421he had his reasons. Who are we to question?
Ghosts of Mars soundtrack was OK, Anthrax, Bucket Head & Steve Vai, what's not to like?
Ambar Navarro did an AMAZING job here. Love the French/Hitchcock noir feeling
Some touches of Fritz Lang too!
John Carpenter and his son damn this music slap so hard ! Carpenter son & dad are real genius
John Carpenter, one of my favourite directors. Dude just oozes talent. This would sound great in Heat2.
Yeah it would. Good call.
I'm so happy this exists.
Gosh, when that guitar kicked in the hair stood up on my neck!
John you are an absolute LEGEND. I cant tell you how much I love The Thing and Big Trouble In Little China. Thank you for all that you do! Play some Quake with us sometime!
They always create such an atmosphere of emotions. 10/10
I would absolutely love to see John direct the ultimate L.A. noir crime thriller and hear this music in it. This is superb. I also think the guitar playing is awesome. Killer lead playing, mean chords, big tone, and it screams. John is unique in that he was one of the very few filmmakers who can also score his own work, and not just give you his vision but the sonic landscape that goes with it. I love this.
So stylish. So moody. Anything scored by Carpenter is a masterclass. I can hear shades of the new Halloween scores in there but there's notes that remind me of Prince of Darkness too.
Completely agree
John Carpenter = Talent
Would love a new Carpenter flick.
I agree
John Carpenter is the coolest human.
The great John Carpenter. Nothing else needs to be said.
He just needs to make the movie that goes along with this soundtrack.
No more movies
Let the man rest now, he doesn’t want to make movies anymore.
John Carpenter is a Great Legend. This track is fantastic
His instrumentals always strikes a nerve bone chilling actually
Holy fuck, John Carpenter forever. He never misses after decades.
The drop/solo hits HARD.
Plays games all the time, stays comfortably high, and drops absolute bangers like this with his kids. John Carpenter's retirement plan is aspirational.
When John Carpenter makes music, I sit there, and wait here for a little while. See what happens.
Mister John Carpenter the Best
Say what you want, he's a fu**ing genius.
FUCK YES!!!! Sounds so good. Now i want a neo-noir film by You , good sir. Cheers n Salute!
Many have tried to emulate the master. Many have failed. Also succeeded. John is one of the greatest artists of our time!
Got the soundtrack...now...
#BringBackPlissken
No. If there's one thing that's embarrassing the film industry these days, it's bringing back old heroes who think they've still got it in their 70's and 80's. Let the old action heroes die, this isn't their time anymore. Besides that, anytime they do bring them back, it always ends up being lackluster.
from the interviews I read John Carpenter played in rock n roll band as a teenager in Kentucky...before choosing to goto film school. Pretty cool that he's doing this after a long run making movies. And the most of the band is with family.
I don't care for this video much. The song itself is ok. The first two albums I found to be really good.
Yes! The band name I'm pretty sure was the coupe Devilles pretty neat! 👌
Great music it sounds something that belongs in a Micheal Mann film
..i love it
This rocks my bones 💀 Amazing cinematography paired with legends of music.
The biggest thing about genuine film noire is the lighting, and this video nails it
I hope someday JC does a Danny Elfman style tour
Don't sleep on Cody and especially Daniels solo material also. Crazy talent for one band
Purrfect! The real Kat's meow. I keep watching it!
School is in session a master of the dark synthwave genre is speaking. John your art has stood the test of time and was formative to me as a young person growing up it provided solace to me and the social anxiety I felt your truly a master of your craft and I'm happy to see you out here still getting it! Never look back on any of it with remorse you gave the world dark and beautiful art you didn't sell out your visions redefined storytelling. This video and its cintext makes me as a history nerd think of WW2 SOE members deep behind enemy lines or detectives on the trail of a brutal and illusive serial killer.
This is surely the best music video I have seen in my life - no surprise.
I thought he only made soundtracks for his films! This is awesome!
Hell Yeah!
i wish they called themselves The Carpenters
Except there was already a band called The Carpenters from the 70s.
Also RIP Karen Carpenter.
You're right where you need to be, doing what you need to do. Still the very best.
Talent just exudes in this family
What can be said that hasn't already been said? Simply more sublime brilliance from the Master of Horror... and Music. Absolutely love it! xx
Wow this is amazing as a long time fan of Carpenter's scores his production has only gotten better over the decades
I dig this. It reminds me of Brandon Lee’s The Crow movie score. Especially the guitar tones.
Would love to see him perform live again!
Love the vibe of being a silent movie. With a twist. The music was awesome
Epic, purely epic! I have to echo the sentiments of some of the others. I'm fortunate to live in a time where John Carpenter is still making music! I'd love to see one more movie from him but if this is what we get, I'll take it! Thank you JC and thank you for They Live, it's my favorite documentary!
God damn, that hits! I LOVE IT!
This. Fucking. Bass. Line. I'm entranced by it! It's simple, elegant, and catchy...all in one! It's so good, I can easily hear it when the bass isn't even playing.
This was the most captivating, bad-ass song and video. From here on out, whenever I’m driving around at night, this will be the only song I listen to. The master.
Carpenter hits a new level of movie genre. This time it is noir. And video itself? Absolute TOP!!! I am in awe. And as junkie of his films and especialy the music, I cant wait for Lost Themes IV! Go! Mister Carpenter! Go! 👌👍 I cerntainly need another dose of your music.
Now that is a jam I can blast while on a long drive at night.
I’ve always liked John’s music, but I started listening to it A LOT over the past two years after I read the band Dante High citing it as an influence.
I love such black and white atmosphere of noir/thriller films. Best regards to Mr. John Carpenter and all the creators! 🎵🎬
John Carpenter forever!!!
Chill and rock as I like. John Carpenter is definitively one of the best ambient music producer ever.
Him alongside Brian Eno
This is gonna slap pretty hard live onstage. Hoping/wishing he’s got one last tour in him.
If Escape from New York 2 ever comes out this should be the soundtrack
Bro I got news for you look up Escape from LA
great music, great feelings.
Gets better every day
Как выдержанное вино хорошего урожая
The music for all movies ! And the video is the essence of the cinematic style
I was fortunate enough to see them play live and it was awesome! I hope they tour again. Excited for the new album.
I’m so thankful the music is still flowing through their souls in 2024. Looking forward to another classic album!
John Carpenter has always been one of my all time favorite musicians as well as filmmakers.
This is fantastic, love the energy, gorgeous synths and cool story
Just awesome,melancholy synths and screaming electric guitar riffs. WOW
I need to play it again !!!
What smooth and cool thumping theme. It felt like scouring the streets for the bad guy, but the bad guy was sitting next to you the whole time.
Excellent work, John and the crew!!!
Yeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!
I was just watching Body Bags. Thanks for the music John, Cody and Daniel.
The Legend continues...
This was a real treat. A piece of pure creation, love, and inspiration.
Fuck, this is so good. I'm just starting my modular / analog synth journey, and stuff like this (and all John's other music) is a huge inspiration for me.
Listening to this track evokes a lot of Prince of Darkness, The Thing and In The Mouth of Madness!!! I love it
New theme for RETURN TO ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK🌃
My kinda atmosphere. Love it.
This 5:45 minutes music video is at the same time the best musical piece and the best movie in the last 10 years.
Otro obra maestra del genio.
Dam this song is badass!!!!!!❤
This slaps hard! Beautiful, loving this JC, CC and DD 💚🖤🧡
I'm used to seeing Carpenter on features. Watching and hearing his projects is such a treat!!! I'm just captivated by the screen. All my senses are in bliss. 💥 Make it better? He was jamming towards the end, during the wrap-up
honestly, such a treasure and inspiration
Everything i like in one video
🔥 RAWESOME 🔥
The song is beautiful and the video is so well executed
Huge fan!!! Love all of his work and his music was always just as good...his movies would have never been the same with out his own written soundtracks...fantastic!!! ❤
Mamma mia!!!
John the immortal guy!
