Carpenter Brut

Carpenter Brut, the alias of French composer Franck Hueso, is known for his electrifying blend of synthwave and heavy metal, drawing inspiration from 1980s horror and action films. Emerging in the early 2010s, he gained recognition for his high-energy tracks and cinematic soundscapes, which resonate with the retro aesthetic of video game culture. Carpenter Brut's contribution to video game music includes his work on the indie title "Winglancer," where his pulsating compositions enhance the gameplay experience, immersing players in its vibrant, nostalgic universe. His music has become synonymous with the revival of synth-driven soundtracks, influencing a new generation of game composers and further bridging the gap between gaming and music.
