The Fog - John Carpenter Cover

If you like what I do, buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/scottamp...
Another year, another John Carpenter cover. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
The Fog is another great film from the master, with a cracking score to boot.
Full of moody tension and synthesized dread in Carpenter's signature style, with a little help from the great Dan Wyman. I hope you enjoy my renditions in this medley of classic themes.
Gear Used:
5U / MU Modular Synthesizer
Yamaha DX7
Roland Juno 6
Behringer Neutron
Arturia MiniBrute
Arturia Beatstep Pro

John Carpenter greatest horror film maker of all time. The Thing is my favorite sci-fi movie ever. Michael is in a class of his own when it comes to horror. I'm him every Halloween. I'm almost 50 and keep it going so the kids will never forget The Shape

[@outpost31737]

One of Carpenters best film scores. Utterly brilliant. Great job by the way.

[@samcaldwell3062]

Agree 100%%%%%%%%

[@francolli]

This is a superb cover! Really well done

[@francolli]

Couldn't resist doing an animation to go with your cover tune of this on my own you tube channel. I have a music background and this is the best cover I have heard of this tune and I'm old enough to have been at the opening night of this movie back in 1980, lol. I donated to your coffee fund Scott, good luck with the channel

Amazing job John would be very proud would love to have this as a intro to one of our bands songs with your credits for playing it . great work

[@AndyRinaldi71]

I can't stop to watch this video... ❤

[@markm.j.lewandowskijr1171]

Excellent job

[@MadMagicianGaming]

This is such a repetitive song, but it's so nice sounding I'm fine with it. Awesome job as well, you beautifully replicated his original song

[@nickavenoso7851]

That’s what drives me to Carpenter’s movies and scores. The way he’s able to use a simple motif so effectively just astounds me. Even if it gets repetitive it still works with the feeling of the movie. Carpenter’s one of my favorite film scorers and directors.

[@nithindominickoshy]

This is definitely a treat, not a trick. Thanks for making our day.

[@brianhintze6440]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Bravo!!!

[@jesseburleson432]

Badass cover.

[@karldicker1702]

I really like your cover of The Fog, it's super scary.

[@max8286]

you catched it for 100%. Like the original theme. Brilliant!

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Encore! Bravo! Phenomenal job! I hope you don't mind that I shared this amazing performance with others! Thank you for sharing your cover of this hauntingly tragic theme with us! :) I wish I could learn the piano music for this movie.

[@gazzabel7040]

Utterly incredible

[@RobinYoulton]

[@ozzieoctainesmitt2514]

Excellent Remix Man!!!

[@TheGhostSeeker]

That was AWESOME!

[@ScottAmpleford]

Thanks :)

[@gothicheart8086]

Love it🖤 always hear about special effects talked about in scary movies - but I’m mostly moved by the music

[@jeffleonhardt7173]

Great job!
How did you make the little "drum" beat in the back ground?

[@ScottAmpleford]

Thanks!
That’s all modular, if memory serves you’re hearing the “chirp” of a self oscillating filter.

[@tonybarde2572]

Part of it reminds me of Moskau by Dschinghis Khan

[@CenturioGaius]

Im on a strange random TH-cam playlist that brought me here. Last thing was man of steel...
Anyways, those old horror themes are really great!

[@ludocrious7898]

fucking fantastiiic

[@JeffIrok]

Good cover! What did you use for piano?

[@ScottAmpleford]

Just Logic’s in-built Steinway sample :)

[@user-ue2pw6of8z]

what sounds do you use to make the fog theme

[@ScottAmpleford]

There’s a full list of instruments both in the video description and in the credits at the end of the video

[@billg3356]

Eleven fifty five...

[@user-ue2pw6of8z]

and what instruments

[@MrThemob11]

Reminds me of resident evil and world war Z combined

[@-The-Darkside]

Never realised how much Harold faltermeyer ripped off the fog theme for Running Man - Bakersfield theme

[@nithindominickoshy]

You should also check out Harold Faltermeyer's opening soundtrack for 'Beverly Hills Cop II' - very similar to "The Duke Arrives / Barricade" in 'Escape from New York'.

[@-The-Darkside]

@@nithindominickoshy I just listened to the whole album, I never had before, it's all very John Carpenter'y huh.
Thanks for the recommendation, good call.
