Whatever you want to say about True Detective season 2, there is clearly a huge David Lynch influence on it, not just Twin Peaks but Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highway.

I wonder if the score was considered to be avant garde in 1991 because it sounds reaaaaal dated to the modern ear.

It sounded dated back in 1991, too, but it just had this familiarity about it that you couldn't quite place. Like something you've heard before, except there's something slightly off about it that it's not quite what it seems. Much like the town of Twin Peaks. Scandalous Wench posted:Anyone else totally in love with the music from FWWM? My copy of the soundtrack is on cassette, haven't listened to it in about 10 years. This song is making me wish I was Bobby Briggs. Boots, flannel, leather jacket, 18 and no fucks to give.

With all this soundtrack talk, I want to plug Silencio again -- a Pittsburgh band that just released its second album of sultry, dark lounge jazz, twangy surf, rockabilly, and more music inspired by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. Here is their first album on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Music-Inspired-Works-Angelo-Badalamenti/dp/B008O6DFSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439148280&sr=8-1&keywords=silencio+lynch And their new release, "She's Bad": http://www.amazon.com/Shes-Bad-Silencio/dp/B00WMAZPEW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_340_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E0W4K1999CYNCPWCD6H And a sample, "Slow Sin Jazz," featuring the vocals of Dessa Poljak: http://youtu.be/wE9_ISYS11Y They play a lot of actual songs from Twin Peaks and other Lynch projects at their live shows, too.

This might have been discussed earlier, but there's actually a small "darkjazz"-movement of bands heavily inspired by Badalamenti's soundtracks and Lynch films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zl5vpy__dQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyORieDhpkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awUsLrEb1EU

I love the Fantomas cover of the FWWM theme. It's bizarre and spooky. I want Mike Patton to score a Lynch project. He's talked about how much he'd love to do that in the past, iirc.

zoux posted:I wonder if the score was considered to be avant garde in 1991 because it sounds reaaaaal dated to the modern ear. I think that's kinda the point. Badalementi's music is simultaneously this sort of vintage pastiche while also absolutely capturing the mood of the scene. You can listen to the soundtrack and write down what it makes you feel, then go watch the show and see just how well that poo poo matches up. This video should tell you everything you need to know about how TP/FWWM was scored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgXLEM8MhJo

You can't really call it dated if modernity was never the aim, and I don't believe it was. The reason Lynch likes Badalamenti so much is he's rooted in a sensibility which is completely un-modern - classic Hollywood film scores, lounge jazz, doo wop. Nothing about the Twin Peaks music was designed to be cutting edge or contemporary, which is why it's so good. If anything does date it, it's the technology used, (the synth pads, etc) rather than actual music composition. Compared to the way other TV shows from the same era were scored, it was pretty avant-garde. The previous two decades of US TV music had been dominated by Mike Post - virtually every big show of that period had a Post theme or score produced by his studio, and they all sound a particular way. And then in 1990 Twin Peaks comes along and the difference was basically like night and day, musically there really was nothing else like it around at the time.

The music in Twin Peaks comes from an alternate universe where elevator music was perfected and allowed to become a new form of music. God do I love it.

Audrey's Dance is like one of those background jingles I think of when I think of the show, and BAM horns and then back to cool oboes and poo poo.

My dad "watched" the show while it aired only because he liked the music. I was 12-13 when it aired and felt weird about watching it with him, so I'd watch it on the TV in the family room and he'd watch it in his bedroom, and I'd get so mad at him the next day when I was dying to talk about the latest episode and he'd have nothing to say because he never followed the story, just listened to the music. He got the soundtrack as soon as it was released, and I remember many Sunday mornings waking up to the sound of him making breakfast downstairs while Badalamenti's iconic "dooo DOOOOO" theme played on the stereo. Hell of a way to wake up.

As well as the aforementioned "I'm Hurt Bad" my favorite tracks: New Shoes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15IvsNf3CmE Bookhouse Boys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVWEkfO07-c Also love the "nostalgic version" of the title theme, the song that plays in the amazing scene where Ben Horne is muttering Shakespeare as he rewatches footage from his childhood. Edit: OH here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiOaFbi20bc Pretty cheesy sounding in retrospect, but incredible in context and familiar with the melody.

If this isn't the thread for new Twin Peaks talk I apologize but Lynch is directing every episode of the new season.quote:Now that Showtime and David Lynch have settled their disputes about the new season of Twin Peaks, it’s full steam ahead for the network and the visionary series creator. Lynch will write and produce the revival series alongside Mark Frost, as well as direct all the episodes. Speaking to the press during the Showtime executive session, Showtime president David Nevins announced a September start date for Twin Peaks in the hopes that the series will debut in 2016. I also read that he's planning to write and direct all the episodes as one film and then turn them into individual episodes in editing.

Doing the whole thing as one movie could either be really good or really bad. Like how Kill Bill ended up with all the action up front and all the talk at the back. Lynch is a more competent director than Tarantino, but if you're doing the whole thing with it in a continuous film in your head, I feel like that informs how you write and structure things in a way that will make it hard to convert into an episodic format.

That's what I am thinking. Episodes tend to have natural stopping points but those points don't exist nearly so clearly in films if at all. I do have enormous faith in Lynch but it is difficult to envision.

You can do it kind of do that. The wire managed to have multiple threads spread across episodes, threads other shows wouldve condensed into a single part. Somebody once described it as that an episodes starts halfway into the one youre watching and ends halfway into the next one. But hopefully this entire season as a movie exists and we can watch it as a single ultra long episode.

Somebody once described it as that an episodes starts halfway into the one youre watching and ends halfway into the next one. Right, but writing a show that has serialized plot threads is different from writing a movie. You still pace and structure things differently. If each episode doesn't have a reasonable beginning, climax, and conclusion it's going to feel meandering and incomplete. Imagine Star Wars edited into 50 my items chunks. No matter how you mix things together, you're either going to be focusing on a single plot thread for a whole episode to keep things thematically consistent within the episode, or you're going to be combining events that happen out of sequence. In good TV, events involving disparate characters in the same episode still tie together thematically. Obviously Lynch is brilliant, but if he sets put to write a movie and then edit it into TV, I worry he's gonna create something confusing and impenetrable, but not in the good way.

Fire Walk with Me should definitely be watched after Twin Peaks, it's a prequel but relies on your knowledge of the series.

I mean if David Lynch can edit a bunch of episodes from an unaired tv series and turn it into one of the best films of the 2000s, I'm sure he can do the reverse and turn a movie into a tv show.

Well...the series finale kind of throws a wrench into the explanation the show gives for the murder, by having the Killer's Doppelganger claim they weren't actually the one that killed Laura, implying that it was purely the Killer themself, and the movie only continues to explore that idea to a degree.
