Musiques de la série

« He’s [Badalamenti] got this musical soul, and melodies are always floating around inside. I feel the mood of a scene in the music, and one thing helps the other, and they both just start climbing. »

« He [Little Jimmy Scott] does things to a song that nobody else does. So he’s an original, an original voice. It’s haunting. And it’s so pure soulful. »

« David said, ‘I’ve got a TV show to do, and the music should be slow, dark, brooding, haunting. It should start with an anticipatory melody, then build slowly up to a climax – a climax that’s slow and tears your heart out.’ That became ‘The Love Theme,’ or ‘Laura Palmer’ theme of Twin Peaks. He’d say these things, and I’d just start improvising at the piano. It’s not difficult for me – melodies come very easily. I still don’t know what all the fuss over this music is about. Anyway, after twenty minutes of improvising and him saying, ‘Play it slower-no, slower,’ he said, ‘That’s IT, don’t change a note, you’ve captured seventy-five percent of Twin Peaks.' »

A propos de la composition du « Laura Palmer Theme »:

« David would say that the music should begin very dark and slow. He said imagine you are in the alone in the woods at night and you hear only the sound of wind and possibly the soft cry of an animal. I’d start playing and David would say, ´That’s it, that’s it! Now keep playing for a minute, but get ready for a change because now you see a beautiful girl. She’s coming out from behind a tree, she’s all alone and troubled, so now go into a beautiful melody that climbs ever so slowly until it reaches a climax. Let it tear your heart out.’ Not a single note was ever changed. »
