Instead of being guided by what :' `:was happening in the world of Halloween, they were free to :' `:work toward other ends. :' `: :' `:ôIt was refreshing to be able to write music that didnÆt :' `:have to fit to any sort of locked image,ö John said. ôWe :' `:also had a specific focus and direction we wanted to follow:' `:when working on Halloween, both in terms of mindset and :' `:instruments, and being able to return to working without :' `:that narrow focus was refreshing. Although working on :' `:Halloween didnÆt specifically influence any of these new :' `:compositions, there is always a honing of craft that must :' `:take place when working on a film like Halloween, and our :' `:improved skills definitely helped us in writing these :' `:songs.ö :' `: :' `:Working together to score a major Hollywood production only:' `:deepened the collaborative chemistry between the three :' `:composers. That comfort level paid dividends, as the songs :' `:developed largely in the room where they were recorded. :' `: :' `:ôLike the majority of the songs that we write, both :' `:æSkeletonÆ and æUnclean SpiritÆ mainly started with an :' `:improvised riff, which was then expanded and built upon to :' `:create the full song,ö John explained. ôLike the previous :' `:Lost Themes album, we each handled duties of writing and :' `:recording, with all three of us contributing ideas and :' `:parts.ö :' `: :' `:ôSkeletonö and ôUnclean Spiritö are the first taste of a :' `:batch of new music that will eventually yield a Lost Themes:' `:III, and with the composers hard at work on the music for :' `:BlumhouseÆs Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, there is :' `:plenty more music to come. Even for the famously prolific :' `:John Carpenter, this might be the most fertile creative :' `:period of his life. :' . ......... . . ................... . : .....::::::::::' : | `````:::::::' | : | `:::::::' | : | | `..:' | | _|__| ` |__|_ __ _________.' | | `._________ __ _ _____________ _ _______________ S! | . ______ _____ / __ __ _____ /__ __ ____ i . _/ ___/ | ___/ /__| |__| | | ___/ / /__| |__ \__| i__ |________. |__________________.| |______/_______ ___\_____ __/ |__| |_____ _ |__| . |__| __ _________ . c r u e l t y . _________ __ `. | _ ___ ____ ____ | .'
