Alan Howarth - Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers Vinyl

Alan Howarth:  American sound designer and film composer, born 6. August 1948 in South River, New Jersey.  Howarth is best known for creating the sound effects for many major Hollywood productions and for his soundtrack collaborations with director John Carpent in the 1980s.  He was president, composer and sound designer at Electric Melody Studios.

The score for 5 HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS was performed by Alan Howarth, who had assisted John Carpenter on HALLOWEEN II and HALLOWEEN III and returning again after scoring HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS. With the fifth film, director Dominique Othenin-Girard wanted to return to the musical style of the first film, which included more writing for piano. Using the Synclavier, then considered state-of-the-art technology in 1989, Howarth was able to accommodate the director’s request and also employed the Kurzweil 250 electronic sampler, a pair of Linn drum machines and several new banks of emulators, equipment which had already been used successfully on the score for THEY LIVE.
