New Hampshire composer Charles Carpenter scores recent projects

New Hampshire composer Charles Carpenter was recently contracted to score The Sting of the Viper, "Legacy," a horror/psycho film slated for distribution by American International Pictures in April of 2010. The film is the first of a three-part series produced between 2000 and 2004 by James T. Clement Films. Clement shelved the film until September of 2009 when an agreement was reached with AIP. As part of the distribution agreement, Clement hired Carpenter (http://www.charlescarpenter.net/) to create a new score to replace the temporary music track for the film's over 2-1/2 hour runtime.
