Mute will release the Maps album on October 31st.
James Chapman is streaming Chapter Two of his new Maps venture Welcome To The Tudor Gate.
Described as, ‘a long-lost horror soundtrack’, it’s a project which dates back over a decade to 2014.
“Inspired by a film that I was never able to trace, I set out to create a mysterious, strange and uneasy soundtrack, with a nod to the fantastical,” Chapman has said.
“I imagined a protagonist venturing into a foreboding land of immense forests, filled with mysterious beings – where magic is real and witchcraft is feared.”
The ‘Tudor Gate’ of the title was originally envisaged to be a ‘community’ or ‘cult’, influenced by films like Blood On Satan’s Claw and The Wicker Man. The music itself is influenced by ‘60s and ‘70s horror soundtracks to films by Dario Argento and John Carpenter but also to writers like H.P Lovecraft and the world of ‘weird fiction’.
