I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I'm a huge John Carpenter fan 😄 And I love that Escape from New York theme, good choice! I think the music (and the movie itself) from Halloween 3: Season of the Witch is really underrated though it's been getting more love in recent years. White Bat Audio actually has a specific John Carpenter inspired playlist on his channel so you're absolutely right about the influence.
Speaking of horror directors who are also musicians 😆 I also really like Dario Argento's band Goblin. It's more Prog Rock but stuff like the Suspiria soundtrack is still synthy and weird, which I like, and I'll always have a soft spot for the original Dawn of the Dead's soundtrack. I think there's quite a bit of influence on Dark Synth from Italian Giallo soundtracks.
I haven't heard of Irving Force before but that's an awesome track, I've subscribed to the channel now so thank you!

Oooo I've not seen Halloween 3, and haven't heard the soundtrack either. I'm gonna have to check both out!
I fell in love with John Carpenter tunes when I started getting into Moog synthesizers (built right here in NC) and I also discovered the whole genre of synthwave this way, haha. But yeah, so dope that White Bat Audio lists John Carpenter as an influence! 🙌
I haven't heard Dario Argento's band, but what a perfect connection to make with John Carpenter — both horror directors that score their own films. I feel like horror in particular is a genre that really relies on the soundtrack to set the atmosphere, create suspense, and deliver on the scares. I'm totally gonna go explore Dario Argento's music and Italian Giallo soundtracks. Thanks for all the awesome info!
Soooo... I stumbled across this months ago and your comment made me think of it. This person envisions a Doctor Who theme if John Carpenter had composed it.

Oooooo yeah! This is right up my alley. 🙌 I love this little subset of synth music.
It kinda reminds me of John Carpenter's music at times when it's all amped up — thinking like the theme song for Escape from New York or something!
It also reminds me of Irving Force, who I was introduced to by @jdoss some time ago. Here's one of their tunes for ya to check out:
Anywho, really appreciate ya sharing this synthwave mix for me! I'm gonna pop it on and rock out for the rest of the day. 😎
