Winds Of Plague Bassist To Host Online “Advanced Bass Production” Workshop
Andrew Glover, bassist for Upland, CA deathcore band Winds Of Plague, has been announced as the next host of creativeLIVE’s ‘Music & Audio’ online course, which will tackle advanced bass production. This free two-day workshop will air 9am to 4pm PST on Monday, February 24th and Tuesday, February 25th and will cover many aspects of how to record and mix your bass signal for the optimal tone, whether it’s for hardcore, metal, punk, rock, or whatever genre you’re after. The course will also cover best practices for not just professional studios but also home setups as well.
Glover comments, “Bass guitar is one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern rock recording, but it is the foundation to a great mix. In this class I’ll be covering and expanding upon a lot of the basics to recording bass, as well as teaching you some advanced techniques to take your bass sounds to the next level.”
Andrew Glover is the owner of Sound Temple Studio in Los Angeles and longstanding bassist for heavy metal act Winds of Plague. Founded in 2008, Sound Temple has already worked with bands like Impending Doom, The Ghost Inside, and Sleeping Giant, as well as labels like Century Media, Facedown, Metal Blade and more.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
