Carpenter is a compilation album to be released by Retro Promenade, organized by Jean-Pierre Van Damme and Mike 'Who Ha' Mendoza. This album will contain music inspired by John Carpenter's film and music career, which no doubt has inspired all of us at some point.
It is a 20 track album guided by the principles of aiming for the highest quality. That means that this is compilation is open to as many people who want to submit a track, but that only 20 tracks will be selected. To prevent internal politics, there are 5 third party selectors asked to select these 20 tracks from all the tracks submitted. Don't feel like you shouldn't submit a track out of a lack of confidence. Just try your very best to make the best dang John Carpenter inspired track you've ever made and submit it. Doing it this way ensures it is a completely level playing field for everyone and ensures that the final album contains the highest caliber of music we could possibly release.
The 5 selectors are:
Rick Shithouse, Synthetix FM
Steve Jenkins, Telefuture
Andy Last, Beyond Synth Podcast
Marko Maric, Synthetix Sundays
Jean-Pierre Van Damme, Drive Radio
