Angelo Badalamenti on working with David Lynch

[@mattaijauri]

Angelo is probably one of the greatest filmmusic makers in the world. You can almost not imagine a Lynch film without his music, it just fits like the hand in a glove.

[@kingsleycracknell7081]

Rest in peace beautiful Angelo ❤

[@christopherfeeney1962]

A true MAESTRO

[@BrunoCosta-dp7ms]

There's a lot a demonstration with film composers with relationship with film directors. At the same time, they've done the job with film music over the years. In this moment with the same generation like cool everyday. Like in association with John Williams and Steven Spielberg, Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, Howard Shore and David Cronenberg, Alan Silvestri and Robert Zemeckis, Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, David Newman and Danny DeVito, Thomas Newman and Sam Mendes, Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan, Terence Blanchard and Spike Lee and many others. Maybe Angelo Badalamenti was a film music legend. R.I.P. Angelo Badalamenti (1937-2022)

Angelo is a musical genius & we are blessed to call him a friend

With his Twin Peaks soundtrack Angelo Badalamenti was my huge inspiration back in the days and still is. Although through all these years I was not paying much attention to his life or what he was up to as a composer. Then the day came when I decided to make a brief research on Internet, just to learn how old Angelo is and, you know, to have a look at this man. Thus I came across with this particular video on KZbin that stunned me as how amazing personality and storyteller Angelo is (that he is a brillian dark music composer I already knew). That was in December 2022. Recently, the other day I've learned that he passed away in December 2022.

The espresso scene is one my favourites. Angelo is the reason I look for reasons to say the word "napkin" in the last 20+ years, and try to say it like him (yes, I amuse myself in such tiny and obscure ways). This is the first time I heard about the original story which inspired Lynch to cast him in that [small] role. Wow, BoB, woW!

RIP 😔

[@PaulVineyard]

The happiest day of David Lynch's professional life must have been the day Badalamenti delivered the music for Twin Peaks. Music so gorgeous and right that it just sends the show right in to orbit...

[@ManicMindTrick]

I re-watched Twin Peaks recently and to me, it hasn't aged in the best way. Just my opinion. Still a show very much worth watching but you see a lot of flaws I didn't do then. The music on the other side is just as good then as it is now and I reckon it will be just as good 200 years from now. Real art is timeless.

[@EnigmaVocals]

I love that scene in Mulholland Drive... can not express my feelings how I love David Lynch'es direction..

[@shane_l8085]

Wow hd no idea that was Badalamenti playing that character in Mulholland Drive

[@droneswarm7888]

Mr. Badalamenti, I listen to a lot. Its packaged/promoted as twin peaks and David Lynch, but Angelo is the best composer of sentiment. Normal sentiment not obscure sentiments like Satie, and not bombastic...very intimate, very normal. He composes other tones and moods I enjoy almost all his music (there is one piece thats soaring banks of violins, too sentimental!) but his sad, or dreadful expressions are so powerful so from the heart and so honest and straightforward. He is so unpretentious and he and David share a courage to feel ordinary, that is exceptional. Thank you Angelo.

[@aaoppe]

It's always nice and inspirational to finally see someone whose art you've admired for years, and discover that they are as humble and down-to-earth as Badalamenti is here. A unique composer, I love his themes from Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and The Straight Story.

[@Poussey]

a true joy to watch and listen - the two are completely inspiring.

This is the girl.

[@earthmonkeymagic]

Great interview. Mysteries of Love soundtrack is just fab ... the best of Angelo Badalamenti.

[@watersystems]

my favorite film composer. straight story has one of the best soundtracks ever. wish i could met him over a cup of espresso.

[@kaliboo60]

What a wonderfully beautiful soul Angelo has. Gentle soul n so brilliant a musician.

[@eriamjr]

Two great minds working in tandem to produce some of the greatest syntheses of music and image that have ever been committed to film (or video). That scene in Mulholland Drive when Rebekah del Rio’s final note segues into the Main Theme, just as Betty discovers the blue box, is one of THE great movie pivot-points of all time.

[@FatMat426]

Excellent interview! Thank you very much for posting this.

[@godadameve]

Angelo, Angelo! Fantastico! Bravo! Cest Magnifique!

[@SJ363]

His soundtrack for The Straight Story, is marvellous

[@martinirosen]

Fantastic person and it´s also fascinating to hear how close he works with Lynch, like Lynch says - "action and reaction".

[@CorpseBride64]

i agree, angelo is a brillant composer!

[@StatD]

badalamenti really is something...

[@JacksInn]

Great composer. Great person.

[@thereverendcarmichae]

He's such an inspriation...Lynch may make the body, but Badalamenti puts meat on the bones. They're a great partership though, because Lynch's lyrics are great too.

[@thebluerose88]

They're both gone now 💔

[@kidcamille50]

nice post

[@ComradeBornath]

I can't wait to hear his work on Alan Wake.

[@MOTHmusik]

11:06 happening

[@alexandruiacobescu160]

That pick that wouldn't shake hands and not speak with anybody, man, I would have made him faint by saying :"Could you please pass the jelly?"

[@kairiismylive]

Im a Russian music maker and biggest fan of Lynch films, I thought there is something odd in M. Drive theme music, but never thought it was intended to sound as a Russian dark melody. Shame on me haha

[@rtstglena]

Anyone know what he has done lately?

[@lilswissmiss88]

"I'm not half as good as Schostakovich" pssshhh he's way too modest!

[@tonitsi78]

Espresso?

[@JvoxProductions]

my favorite scene, loved hearing the story behind it!

[@aperisimo]

you talked like lynch there

[@godadameve]

Are those sounds in the background that of knives, forks, spoons, glasses and dishes? Must be a restaurant which would be highly appropriate judging by the size of Angelo's waistline...oh, just kidding! I love Angelo! Bravo! Bravisimo Video!Thanks Martinirosen!

[@sandyprimus9831]

yes ,background noise was rather distracting.

[@gilevansinsideout]

no he isnt, but he's good with films lets not get carried away...

[@jimmynorton1001]

Are you kidding? He is working on that game? The same game that will never see the light of day?

[@buddyleewoods2327]

Napkin . naa-p-kin .
