Carpenter Who


A chill inducing interpretation of a classic theme.

It is difficult to keep a poker face when the rest of your body is reacting to a song like you just took a weapons grade stimulant. You got a face chiseled out of stone but your body is going the complete opposite way. That is what it’s like listening to John Carpetner’s Dr Who by the Youtube musician, GeorgeCMusic. You just can’t keep your cool when your body wants to dance like a maniac.


 You know that feeling when you listen to something spectacular? You get that pathway of dopamine opened up from your brain to drench your striatum and get you get chills from that reaction. This song just opens up that ancient part of your brain where music affects us.

It is as if GeorgeCMusic was experimenting with a musical version of automatic writing and somehow by some amazing way, linked his brain to the collective aural hive of Carpenter’s work and set out to create something so close to the original man, that many times during the song, one begins to think, “Maybe this really is John Carpenter”. To which that would be the greatest compliment anyone could be ever given.



Not only is “What if John Carpenter did a Dr. Who theme”, spot on and the opening credits are tremendous, but the originators of the theme song of Dr. Who, Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire would be absolutely thrilled that this version can give you the chills just like the original.
