Ep4: The Synth Sounds of Twin Peaks: Part Two - "Laura Palmer's Theme" | Reverb.com

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

This is the essential Twin Peaks theme. I would argue that Twin Peaks wouldn't be Twin Peaks without this piece. That's how important it is to the whole feel of the series.

[@camcochlan]

This was tight af, you guys should do one for Silent Hill.

[@maurov2104]

Yesssss

[@sctrgs3207]

Simultaneously cold and warm. Rest in peace, Laura. (Fecking cool video)

[@DopeWhales]

These videos are making me so happy.

[@young_cheeseburger]

I love the skits before this, y'all nailed the Twin Peaks style so well! These were really insightful overall

[@jmalmsten]

I really recommend watching the interview where Badalamenti tells that story while recreating the session on his instrument. His impersonation of Lynch is priceless. Not in a haha funny way. But just wonderful to hear him recount the instructions he got that day.

[@sti3]

It's one of my favorite videos about music. So moving.

[@Viewbob_True]

OH ANGELO

[@wormswithteeth]

I prefer this to the Main Theme. Who's with me?

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Absolutely.

[@davidhubbell1622]

Always loved this haunting piece!

[@sonicaids]

oooohhhhh angelo

[@testohtoby]

The main pad is a jx10 patch Soundtrack

[@LarsVinter]

Actually, it was played by the MKS70 for the recording, but yes similar sound to jx-8p and jx10

[@testohtoby]

@@LarsVinter it's basically a jx10 in a box XD

[@ia5662]

Moby took this and made "Go" with it, love that song.

[@PgTrAxX]

Yep, and 1 year later in 1992 a dutch producer The Gateway Experience created a harder version called Twin Freaks 👍

[@chucku.farley]

Great series! Thanks a lot! I've been addicted to the pg8x for a couple of weeks, glad to see it in part 1.

[@JacksJamz]

i've just binge watched all of this series. i love it, thanks!

[@reidmich182]

If the pad sound is actually MKS70 what is he playing on the D-50?

[@wildhorse4262]

For God's sake please do one of these videos for "Crockett's Theme".

[@EverettDudgeon138]

CMI Fairlight for the main lead (which I believe is a combination of the Sararrr voice sample and a marimba sample), as well as guitar and percussion samples. Jupiter 8 for the strings. and I'm pretty sure the bass is either a Moog or Jupiter 8 bass patch. I believe there's also a Linn Drum as well in there for the main beat.

[@vincentsrzentic596]

Amen!

[@neonether]

Check out RetroDadeMusic on insta!

[@tomas_horn]

very tastefully done theme deconstruction, including acting part with coffee and pie and all that stuff:)

[@dideroted]

This was great, thank you.

[@andyparle5494]

GO! Yeaheya

[@RS-pp7ng]

Diane, it's January 2021. You would not BELIEVE what this is like!

[@jerrylong4651]

Damn fine piece of pie!

[@lorainonacid502]

I think I love u for doing this video 💟 and sharing this sounds that rlly make me feel floating and drowning at the same time 💟 i rlly love the music of twin peaks.

[@kidcody182]

Dude, this is so cool.

[@renangoncalvesflores]

Oh my god, this is an amazing lesson. Thank you man!

[@stevengr4]

I just sampled the essential bits of Moby's play end pitched dpwn a few semitones.

[@ping5580]

ahh the sound of the 90s

[@michaelprovost6066]

Outstanding!

[@peopleiknow2896]

These videos are great.

[@influxxmedia]

Great series of (well, two) videos. More like this and the Stranger Things sounds of. Really enjoy them. Great job, thx

[@leevinylcritic]

MOBY "GO"

[@eln0rte]

Hello. Great video by the way. Do you by any chance know the name of the instrument on, The Bookhouse Boys, where it begins to sound very ominous about a minute or so into the song. Thanks.

[@colinbragg1621]

Fun! Thanks.

[@dougsignorovitch1493]

Dude Awesome info. ✌️👍

[@asdifasi]

world just go insane a guy called delay at a yt channel known as reverb!

[@justcallmesando]

Is it future... or is it past?

[@flynn_22]

Cool

[@BenA718]

Great video! The word you were looking for was ostinato, I think. :)

[@djcata7474]

Nicely done. Here and there the harmonies are off, and the original playing style is more cursive. It's in the sounds, but it's in the performance, too

[@vadimrancov9177]

Super

[@Mattieval]

I love the effort you've done to in this video, but I can't help wonder why you don't go more in depth with a longer video. It would be cool to hear you talk about the classic composition techniques and how the synths help realise that, or put a new twist on it.

[@NickHchaos]

Don't forget Tibet!

[@globehb7645]

Pads alone ALONE so painful SO epic ... ... too pure to allow the "other", original or nothing.

[@neurolepticer1284]

which one d50 Preset is used for the Laura Warm Pad?

[@DestroyER82]

It was made on MKS-70 (JX-10 / JX-8P) not D50.

[@adamjacksonmedia]

MKS 70 "soundtrack"

[@sagesliverpinksage834]

The weekend next

[@Subparanon]

Great video, but one thing; The soundtrack was not made with "The cutting edge instruments of the time". Twin peaks came out in 1990 and the D50 came out in 1987, 3 years before. The DX7 came out even earlier than that. 3 years doesn't sound like much but you have to realize that at that point, there was a rapid change of technology from subtractive synths, to wavetable. The D50 was cutting edge in 87 because of it's sampled attack sounds, but just one year later in 88 Korg came out with the M1 which was SOLELY based on samples. Roland made the D50 a hybrid because sample memory was so expensive at the time, but just one year later the M1 was blowing the D50 out of the water and by the 90's you had true hybrid instruments like the Yamaha SY99, that were superior to the D50 and even the M1 by that point.

[@HotStrange]

Subparanon if I’m not mistaken the M1 is also the best selling synth of all time. Even beating the MiniMoog, Arp Odyssey, and DX7.

[@EaglehawkMoonfang]

tl;dr

[@adrianc1264]

It's impossible to say the name Badalamenti without doing a cod italian accent with hand gestures

[@litemakr2]

Nice piece, but you got the synths, the sounds and even some of the notes wrong. The actual synths used were a Yamaha DX-7 and TX-7 for electric piano and a Prophet T-8, Roland MKS-70 and Roland D-550 for the strings. The chorus used is a big part of the string sound, you can get very close using a Juno 6/60/106 with chorus setting 1 and some reverb. There isn't a piano melody in the dark part of the song, just synth strings so your whole presentation is kinda wrong. Nit picky? Yes, but this IS Twin Peaks...

[@mrduckbutt]

Indeed, I'm not sure what's going on in this video. The one about the main theme isn't all that accurate either. BTW - From asking him directly, Kinny Landrum's recollection is that the MKS-70 is the predominant synth you hear in this theme (although it sure does sound pretty darn close to 'Arco Strings' on the D-550).

[@electricmagazine1]

The instruments you mentioned are correct but there is piano in the dark part of the song, it'sway back in the mix, listen carefully. Not an actual piano, it's a Rhodes.

[@MadelnMachines]

Where did you find that out? I was wondering about the strings in particular because they're so fuzzy and warm with a really wide chorus. I'd love know which chorus was used and which part of the sound was with which synth.

[@DestroyER82]

Exactly. Main instruments were Rhodes and MKS-70 (rack version of JX-10), but you can also recreate it on JX-8P (its 6 voice version of the same thing, with same sounds and same analog chorus).

[@fede018]

The piano part sounds off.

[@CM30-e1q]

I want to marry Justin

[@Reverb]

Get in line, yo. :)

[@Melltronster]

Twin Peaks really peaked in season 1. Season 2 fell off a steep cliff and season 3 really lynched itself hard.

[@HotStrange]

Mellotronster I agree that season 1 is the best season but season 2 had some amazing episodes. James’s character arc at the mansion sucked some life out of it. The new season is fantastic, IMO. Almost on par with season 1.

[@mylittlestudio]

Good but not spot on... Sorry

[@quasarulas3968]

i have no interest in twin peaks, never seen it i just like hearing justin delay talk about synths

[@smokeylonesome4328]

Masterpiece. Please give it a try.

[@goosups6609]

I thought this was gonna be from the band twin peaks lmao too bad maybe next time

[@felixucoff]

Manzini D' linguini fuck u
