Maps unveils details of his long-lost soundtrack ‘Welcome To The Tudor Gate,’ out now via Mute. James Chapman’s album serves as the soundtrack to a half-remembered film watched late into the night and forgotten for years until nebulous stills and scenes returned to his mind, prompting him to create its musical companion. Recorded back in 2014 and lost until now, the ominous scene setter “Chapter One” invites listeners into this unusual 40-minute piece separated into chapters that flow together with no gaps. Chapman imagined a protagonist venturing into a foreboding land of immense forests filled with mysterious beings where magic is real and witchcraft is feared. The Tudor Gate represents a community or cult influenced by films like Blood On Satan’s Claw and The Wicker Man, with music drawing from ’60s and ’70s horror soundtracks by Dario Argento and John Carpenter plus writers like H.P. Lovecraft and the world of weird fiction.
