Behind-the-scenes as Xiu Xiu plays the music of David Lynch's Twin Peaks

The music of television series Twin Peaks by composer Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch was reimagined by Xiu Xiu in this special project commissioned for the exhibition 'David Lynch: Between Two Worlds' at the Gallery of Modern Art, Australia. Led by Jamie Stewart, Angela Seo and Shayna Dunkelman, Xiu Xiu’s performance provided an entirely new interpretation of the music, one emphasising its chaos and drama.
In 2015 the Australian Cinémathèque, GOMA commissioned Xiu Xiu to reinterpret the music of TV series 'Twin Peaks'. Compositions and songs by composer Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch were given a startling makeover and presented in two sell-out performances.
Performance commissioned for ‘David Lynch: Between Two Worlds’ at the Gallery of Modern Art, (GOMA) 14 March - 7 June 2015. Recorded Saturday 18 April 2015 at the Gallery's Australian Cinémathèque.
Shayna Dunkelman: vibraphone, drum set, keyboard
Angela Seo: synth, percussion, noise
Jamie Stewart: vox, guitar, synth and noise

"...it's essentially the definition of genius in music where almost nothing is happening technically, but emotionally it's astoundingly effective and beautiful" - Jamie Stewart. Well said man preach 👏🏼

I had the very good fortune of being at GOMA the night that this was presented - it was a sell out. Thought I might be the oldest (50) bastard there - but no. Tell you what, but - UN-F*CKING-BELIEVABLE concert. Met the band after and got a hug from Jamie. Couldn't help myself - gave them a "tip" of A$20 each. Wondered what it was worth in their space dollars!

+sparkyspacechimp I bet that was a great experience, man.

[@trashmunki]

+sparkyspacechimp ah, so that was you! I hung back to grab their autographs on my copy of Angel Guts and saw you doing that. It was a truly unbelievable experience that night.

Shayna got fired for being arrogant, lazy and weird. I wonder what went wrong man.

[@aleksaperetic6696]

What's your source on that, I'm super curious now.

[@DrainedGaming]

I remember reading it on some interview or like a video. Closest thing I can remember is the KUGS 89.3 FM interview.
