From scores to special sound effects, from Halloween stalkers to "Star Trek", Alan Howarth's electronic imagination has contributed to some of the biggest genre films of the '80s. Alternately wearing the hats of both composer and sound effectsman, Howarth has collaborated with John Carpenter on the music from nearly all of his movies starting with "Escape from New York". He's provided sound design and effects for "Poltergeist", "Raiders of The Lost Arc", all the "Star Trek"movies, "The Hunt For Red October", Coppola's "Dracula", "Total Recall" and "Stargate". As a composer, he's scored all or part of all the "Halloween" films, "The Live!", "Prince of Darkness", and composed music for "Retribution", "The Dentist" and others.

At Unsound, Alan will give a rare live performance, as well as a Q & A session, and a workshop on sound design for horror movies.
