Jean-Michel Jarre Teams With John Carpenter For Collaboration Track
On October 16th, French electronic artist Jean-Michel Jarre is going to release E-Project, an album featuring tons of incredible collaborations with artists such as Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode), 3D (Massive Attack), Tangerine Dream, M83, Armin Van Buuren, and more.
Now, today we find out that one of the tracks will feature none other than horror maestro John Carpenter, who will be collaborating on the song “A Question Of Blood”!
Jarre tells Bloody-Disgusting:
John brought his instinct characteristic style on the track, by adding one layer of melody, and also some layers of pads and kind of scratching sound, by listening to the track when he send back the result to me, I was instantly in one of the future scene of the next John Carpenter movie. What I feel is I feel the instant and definite John Carpenter’s stamp on it.
Below is a very cool video that interviews both Jarre and Carpenter about this track and what fans can expect. Also just as cool is that Jarre is shown picking up a copy of Death Waltz’s Halloween II vinyl, which you can snag here.
You can pre-order the album via iTunes.

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.”
