If you've seen it, how would you describe the show? Also don't forget, get on the list early ahead of the Black Friday sale coming up! resources.betterpiano.com/countdown

      Twin Peaks is an absurdist homage to the American soap opera. IT seems more out of left field now because soap operas and the whole experience of consuming television has completely changed since 1990. It's kind of funny when you think back on it this way, with all the tonal dissonance of disturbing moments combined with saccharine melodrama and corny gags. Making a sort of narrative pastiche.
      Kind of like the theme come to think of it!
      Also there was a fish in the percolator.

  • @evanhodgescomposer
    @evanhodgescomposer Місяць тому +18

    As a composer that works primary in film, this is how I work out a lot of my themes. Before I was a media composer, I was a jazz bassist.
    When I'm not writing to the locked picture, I compose sketches from the script or look book (essentially a mood board of what the film will look and feel like).
    I rely heavily on my use of improvisation for this process, often recording a lot of different ideas into my DAW and then slowly chisel the sounds away, till I find what I'm looking for.
    I find that this methodology is the purest form of artistic expression to picture, as it takes away an preconceived notion of what you'd write, and it allows for some amazing sonic exploration.
    Great video man!

He made some amazing contributions to music. The modulations in this track are so beautiful. Would love to see more on his stuff, either more Twin Peaks stuff (the FWWM theme and Audrey's Dance are super interesting harmonically) or Mulholland Drive/Lost Highway!

    I think one incredibly important lesson here is to write melodies (or anything really) with intentionality, for a scene or with a feeling in mind.
    It’s amazing when you can collaborate like that with someone, literally have a director there who describes what he wants to feel, but it’s obviously harder if you’re writing music solo.
    If you’re alone you kinda need to have an introspective dialogue with yourself, figure out what exactly you want to deliver, which feeling or emotion.
    It can be quite a tough process, but this intentionality is what will separate you from a pile of “meh” that’s being created and released every minute right now.
    Thank you for the video, Charles, absolutely fantastic one!

    I watched it finally some years ago and my mom said she watched it from tv when I was a baby. It really did change something in my life after watching, like I saw the world in a new way. Then I played a game called Deadly Premonition which is a Japanese game that feels like it could just as well be a licensed Twin Peaks game. And it has the most bugged PC port I've ever seen, which is pretty typical for Japanese games.
    Honestly the latter part of the video, explaining these tricks to prime playing and thinking in a certain way, or more like abandoning it, was very good and valuable. And I learned a completely new and interesting thing about music and that theme in particular, just that experience of them interacting - telling a story and fitting music in - both being so proficient in what they do, is so interesting. There's been so many times when I've heard the composition tell the same story as the lyrics and it made me wonder if the music came after the story. Or that they felt the music of the story first and wrote what sounded right to the drama's progress in the music.

    I'm an aspiring screenwriter and during the last 6 years i've been very inclined towards screenplay theory (conflict; structure; etc).
    And since those concepts have been developing in my head and extending to all my artistic knowledge, screenplay theory and musical composition theory are becoming more connected (till some point).
    So i found really interesting what you said about forgetting all preconcepts and structures when you're creating, and THEN using all the theorical knowledge to correct or polish your work. Because that's the same thing i say about writing a screenplay. Creating (imagination) and knowing (rationality) are two different parts of the brain, and we shouldn't confuse them nor make them obstruct each other.

It truly does go from heartbreaking beauty to dismal despair and back again! So much great music came out of this series (and Wild at Heart, a contemporary David Lynch movie). If you like the oddly ethereal, disorienting sound of the Twin Peaks music, check out Julee Cruise's Voice of Love CD (she played the cabaret singer at One Eyed Jacks in the show), it's a collaboration between all three (Cruise, Badalamenti, and Lynch). Just one correction: this was not the theme music for the show, that would be the track titled Twin Peaks Theme (or "Falling", which is the same thing with lyrics, sung by Julee), which played during the opening credits, the title of this piece is "Laura Palmer's Theme".

    It's a hauntingly beautiful song, and just thinking of it makes me tear up. Combine it with the scene and it almost breaks me, despite almost having worn out my copy of the series.

    Oh hell yeah. More “Twin Peaks” music, please! In the meantime I’ll share this video with fellow Peaks fans on social media. Recommended pieces: “Audrey’s Dance,” and “The Dance of the Dream Man.”

    When that show first came out I wasn't that into it. But I watched it a few years ago and was struck with how awesome the music was. It was so dramatic and beautiful. It took me awhile to really get into David Lynch's style but I dig a lot of what he does as a director/writer. He's also a big music guy. He does the eerie unsettling thing really well.

      @@michellemonet4358 OK, I see now that it is actually called Laura Palmer's Theme. I thought there were more than one Laura's theme but it is that one that I was referring to.

    I never saw the TV Show or the movie. Don't know why as I must have been the target group in terms of age. But - of course - I know the soundtrack. I absolutely love "Falling" by Julee Cruise. But since I didn't see anything from the series, I didn't link Laura's Theme to Falling.
    I first came across these beautiful chords by listening to "Go" by Moby. To this day this is one of the most iconic songs from the electronic music. These beginning chords from the theme which are the basis for "Go" have such a unique sound that they immediately catch you when one of the songs begin.
    Now that I know the complete "Laura's Theme" I totally agree to what you said in the video. Thank you for this.

    What's truly amazing is that David Lynch literally DIRECTED the score itself, by instructing the improvisation of Badalamenti. Unbelievable creativity!

    If you watch any the extras on the DVD set of David Lynch's outstanding latest (last? *sniff*) Twin Peaks season, he uses this extraordinary improvisatory technique throughout. It appears he doesn't hand round a selection of scripts to be learned and recited, he leads his entire cast through the labyrinth of his inventiveness by guiding them. He'll say something like "You want to say to the other man that you need the money. When he asks you what for, say you are frightened. Say you are obsessed with his shoes. And you, when you hear that, you say you understand". (Or whatever.) Must be a thing of wonder and great fulfillment to work with him.

    To everyone that clicked on this as fast as I did, cannot recommend enough hunting down the "Twin Peaks Archive" from back in 2011. Lynch released a TON of different takes of songs and several that were previously unreleased. I don't think it's available in a lot of places, but I'm sure you could track down some MP3's at least.

    Never saw the series but know some of the themes.. When you talk about the C Major chord.. moving to the E Major... and THEN to F Minor, that was so 'Bernard Herrmann' to me when I first heard it; think 'Vertigo' or 'Taxi Driver'... Blinkin' brilliant..

    Could you talk about Vienna Teng's "Hymn of Axciom" at some point? It's such an beautiful song but still is the most interesting sounding musical piece of art I've really ever heard. It's a musical goldmine of everything talked about in your videos and I think it'd be amazing for you to cover! (Bonus points for the Bluecoats 2014 performance)

    I bought the soundtrack recording as soon as it was available for sale because I knew in my gut there was something uniquely special about Badalamenti's music.
