78岁的著名恐怖电影导演约翰·卡彭特将一个关于地狱电梯的梦境转化为创意作品，与家人合作推出图像小说《Cathedral》及配套原声专辑，该作品将于周五发布[1]。这部作品的灵感源自卡彭特梦中一个场景：一台位于废弃洛杉矶教堂中通往地狱的电梯[1]。
卡彭特认为当代电影业"全是公司行为"，因此采取这种创意方式来保持艺术活力[1]。该项目由卡彭特与儿子科迪和教子丹尼尔·戴维斯共同完成音乐制作，故事由其妻子桑迪·金所有的漫画出版公司发行[1]。在谈及人工智能在音乐创作中的应用时，卡彭特表示质疑："你告诉我一台机器能做到这一点？我不相信。这是人类的事。我希望它来自我们。"[1]
Legendary horror filmmaker John Carpenter, 78, has collaborated with his family to transform a vivid dream into a multimedia project combining a graphic novel and original soundtrack titled "Cathedral," set to release on Friday [1]. The concept originated from Carpenter's dream about an abandoned Los Angeles church featuring an elevator descending into hell [1].
The creative team includes Carpenter's son Cody and godson Daniel Davies, who contributed to the album's composition [1]. Carpenter's wife Sandy King, who owns a comic publishing company, is handling the publication of the graphic novel [1]. Carpenter explained his decision to pursue this alternative creative outlet by noting that the film industry has become overly commercialized, stating that it is now "all corporate" [1]. On the question of artificial intelligence in music production, Carpenter expressed skepticism, saying "you tell me a machine can do that? I don't believe it. This is a human thing. I want it to come from us" [1].
