David Lynch Details Unique Process To Creating Twin Peaks' Iconic Theme Music

Creator David Lynch shares the unique process to creating the iconic theme music for Twin Peaks. First airing in April 1990, Twin Peaks was a serial mystery drama series following the aftermath of a homecoming queen's murder in the eerie town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The score for the series was composed by Angelo Badalamenti in partnership with Lynch, and the main theme "Falling" by Julee Cruise has since become an iconic part of television music history.

The three-time Oscar nominee looked back on the unique process the two had in creating Twin Peaks' iconic theme music, detailing how it largely stemmed from playing off of one another's feelings more than anything else.

Well the main theme of Twin Peaks is Falling. And Falling was a thing Angelo and I wrote and Julee Cruise sang it. We wrote that before, when Twin Peaks was just a dream, only in the beginnings, and I said you guys, this thing is going to be the theme of this show. And they looked at me like, are you crazy? How it always works with Angelo and me, I know the mood of a thing and the feel of a thing.

The Legacy of Twin Peaks' Music While Twin Peaks received mass critical acclaim for everything from its effects to its casting, the series' music has been described as "the summit of TV soundtracks." Badalamenti would go on to win a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance for the Twin Peaks soundtrack in 1991, as well as receiving three other Grammy nominations for the series in 1990.

Twin Peaks may have come to an end in 1992, but it continued with the movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me that debuted after the series' finale, albeit serving primarily as a prequel. Additionally, Showtime produced a Twin Peaks revival in 2017, occasionally subtitled "The Return," that saw widespread acclaim and solid ratings for the cable network.
