Multi-instrumentalist Cody Carpenter makes jazz fusion and prog rock under his own name, electronic music and synthwave as Ludrium, and film scores with his father, horror master John Carpenter. Cody began contributing to the famed director's films at a young age, and the two later worked with Daniel Davies on the Lost Themes series of albums and on the scores for the 21st century remakes of Halloween and Firestarter. He also ventured into piano improvisations with 2020's The Major Arcana, and scored video games with Mark Day. He continued revisiting his father's classic film scores with the 2023 release Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988).
