He is the lead singer and songwriter for the Boston, Massachusetts band Beat Circus.[1] In 2011, he formed Brian Carpenter & The Confessions and released its debut album in 2015. He is also the leader and arranger of the Ghost Train Orchestra in Brooklyn.[2] Personal lifeBrian Carpenter was born in Melbourne, Florida. He first attended the University of Florida in the mid-1990s, where he studied engineering and became part of the burgeoning music scene in Gainesville, Florida. He moved to Boston in 2000 and began hosting a radio show on WZBC-FM in Newton, Massachusetts and formed the band Beat Circus in 2002. In 2009 he revealed his son had high-functioning autism.[3] Musical careerAfter the formation of Beat Circus, Carpenter began composing a "Weird American Gothic" trilogy of albums, starting with Dreamland, released on the Cuneiform label in 2008, a song cycle loosely based on the Coney Island theme park of the same name. Boy from Black Mountain followed in 2009 with Southern folk songs inspired by his son and his father's life growing up as a farmer in the Florida Panhandle. The album won the Independent Music Award that year for Best Alt/Country Album.[4] In 2012 Carpenter began collaborating with the Berkeley Repertory Theater on a musical loosely based on Herbert Asbury's Gold Rush saga The Barbary Coast.[5] Ghost Train OrchestraIn 2006 Carpenter was hired as the musical director for a run of vaudeville shows at an historic theater in Boston, then celebrating its 90th anniversary. He formed a 9-piece band called the Ghost Train Orchestra to perform the event and in 2011 released an album of rearranged music from obscure late 1920s Chicago and Harlem bands called Hothouse Stomp.[6] The ensemble went on to reconstruct and re-imagine compositions by idiosyncratic American composers from the late 1930s with the album Book of Rhapsodies.[7] Brian Carpenter & The ConfessionsIn 2011 Carpenter announced the formation of a new band called Brian Carpenter & The Confessions which debuted in January 2011 in Biddeford, Maine. The band recorded their debut The Far End of the World with Rafi Sofer at Q Division Studios in Somerville, Massachusetts and mixed with Craig Schumacher in Tucson, Arizona. The album was released in 2015.[8] RadioIn 2001, Carpenter began hosting a weekly experimental radio program Free Association on WZBC at Boston College. He then began producing lengthy radio documentaries, starting with The Sound of Horror, a four-hour study on sound design in horror and science-fiction film. Among other projects, Carpenter aired documentaries on jazz multi-instrumentalist and composer Sam Rivers and composer, inventor, and electronic music pioneer Raymond Scott.[9] WorksDiscography
In 2010 Carpenter contributed to tracks on the Swans album My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky.[10] Radio Documentaries
