John Carpenter • Alan Howarth • Darkness Begins

It’s that time of year when darkness takes on a special meaning, and for those of a certain age and temperament, there are some fond but chilling memories of John Carpenter’s apocalyptic trilogy of films.

This is my cover of the “Darkness Begins” theme by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth. And I’ve made use of a MuseScore Studio to craft the arrangement, and employed a blend of modern sampled acoustic wavetable and classic analog synthesizers by Arturia, in this homage to the 1987 film “Prince of Darkness”, and the “Darkness Begins” theme
