"This Party that never happened", writes Arnaud Rebotini posting his version of John Carpenter's Halloween theme on Soundcloud.
With a weekend that saw events, large and small, cancelled or postponed, from family gatherings to nightclub events, for kids or adults, it's something of a poignant reminder of another time.
Rebotini continues: "As our lives today are so much like a bad horror film, too long and boring, and as this year has seen the sacrifice of social and cultural life, I have chosen this Halloween celebration because it is the celebration of youth sublimating the fear of death, but also because it is the symbol of a devouring capitalism where we consume everything and anything without any limit, which leads to nothing but the catastrophe we are living today."
I've always loved his dark electro, as well as his soundtrack work that saw his score for 120 battiments par minuit get international attention and a Cesar award.
Rebotini has always had the awareness and the means to articulate a situation, and given the dark days we find ourselves in, it feels like he's got the tone right.
On the release of this new track he adds "So through this reworking of John Carpenter's theme, I offer you my version of the soundtrack of the burial of our social, cultural and nocturnal lives."
