Angelo Badalamenti - The Music of Twin Peaks / @coversart
The music that I had long wanted to play was the one for the David Lynch TV series Twin Peaks, composed by the brilliant Angelo Badalamenti. (is it also worth noting what a shocking impression the series had made on me, in the early 90s of the last century, when I was still a child. And of course the merit of the soundtrack here cannot be overestimated)
I recorded 8 main songs from The Music of Twin Peaks. And although I originally planned to play them only on the piano - I could not resist using the synthesizer instead of vocals in 3 songs written by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. My recording is based on arrangements by Edwin Mclean. Everything you hear and see is played live. In compositions where double bass is heard - I just use the split keyboard option available in my Nord Grand, playing the bass part with the left hand and the piano part with the right.

When Twin Peaks debuted on the ABC network on the night of April 8, 1990, thirty-five million viewers tuned in to some of the most unusual television of their lives. Centered on an eccentric, coffee-loving FBI agent's investigation into the murder of a small town teen queen, Twin Peaks brought the aesthetic of arthouse cinema to a prime time television audience and became a cult sensation in the process. Part of Twin Peaks' charm was its unforgettable soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti, a longtime musical collaborator of film director and Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch. Badalamenti's evocative music, with its haunting themes and jazzy moodscapes, served as a constant in a narrative that was often unhinged and went on to become one of the most popular and influential television soundtracks of all time.
Twin Peaks' music has received widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian has said that the original soundtrack "still marks the summit of TV soundtracks" and AllMusic reviewer Stephen Eddins has referred to it as "a model of film music ideally matched to the images and actions it underscores." The main theme song to Twin Peaks, composed by Badalamenti, also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1991 Grammy Awards.
