[@dejadejayoutube]

RIP Angelo 🙏 , one of the greatest,...and my personal favourite. Literally set the tone for some of the most iconic moments in film& television, ... the soundtrack to our lives.

[@aminoacids75]

This song is such a masterpiece. Twin Peaks is my all time favourite serie of all time. I'm almost 48 and it reminds me so much of my youth. Angelo was a truly amazing person and artist. So much talent and passion. Thank you so much 🙏 Rest in peace brother ❤️

An underrated composer and an amazing human being . R.I.P.

[@stevensryan-kenneth4017]

I know about his passing only since yesterday. I feel deeply saddened. M. Badalamenti must have been a great and beautiful person.

[@RobbyBlitz]

What a lovely experience. Great questions by the interviewer.

[@frodiarnason]

One of the greatest things ever captured on television. What an amazing person.

[@AllsWellInHell]

that rendition of Laura’s Theme is absolutely chilling. I’m so sad as many of us are to have lost such a legend - I used to walk by Eastman school of Music all the time and never knew that he went there, so thank you for uploading this wonderful interview.

[@TheNoMan23]

Angelo is gentle and kind person, and I love how he talks naturally and comfortably like Lynch does.

[@aperisimo]

what a gentleman, what a professional, a sound goes away with the passing of this great man

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

He's a very gifted composer, and a fine gentleman as well. The interviewer had some very insightful questions.

[@offgridshiresfarminguk9158]

He's one of the greatest composers of our times - give praise and glory to God to whom all praise and glory belongs.

[@NightMedicine]

Big time. I love it.

[@jozefmak1268]

what a great interview, also we are SO lucky David and Angelo met

[@valentina47734]

How David perfectly pitched Twin Peaks theme to Angelo. It was tearing my heart for so many years. I am surprised it still has that effect on me.

[@fridafeline]

Wonderful natural interview

[@semanj]

RIP Maestro Badalamenti

[@celesteisneat]

This is amazing! He’s so sweet talking about Isabella not being able to sing! I’ve been singing blue velvet in her style for many many years!

[@Octovisuals]

Thank you! One of the best scores ever, also the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which inspired many themes from Resident Evil, one of my favorite videogames ever.

[@filmsalang5870]

Rest in Peace. Thank you for your music.

[@z8080]

Thanks a lot for posting! I hope this doesn't get taken down

[@snaefellsen]

He looks like a classic mafioso but he is one of the greatest composer ever and another great italoamericans.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

In Lynch's film Mulholland Drive, Angelo played Mafioso mogul Luigi Castigliane, who demands an impossibly perfect cup of espresso.

[@jdog7797]

Just found out about Angelo and Al both today from an alert... talk about a one two punch to the heart and soul. Their spirits will always live on in Twin Peaks among the trees. Rest in peace to you both, you brought much love and happiness to us all... 'The whole damn town', as Andy would say.

[@007koko007]

If there was ever a moment or a person or a music that best describe word 'talent', it is this music and this person then. It's really sad that musician of this calibre become popular so late. His gift for melodies and creating atmosphere is way above what popular music culture has to offer. Simply doing something following his own instinct and his own emotions without bothering about how music sounds today. He can feel the music. The music is not mathematic to him and it doesn't need to be complex or some artsy-fartsy crap to be beautiful, original and so deeply sad and emotional. It's ike offering completely new world and feelings to the listener. I can't listen and watch him playing piano without starting to cry. The music is out of this world and it also reminds me of my childhood when I was watching Twin Peaks 25 years ago. And those 2 albums he made for Julee Cruise are also like a dream. Such simple, yet effective and moving melodies are something that only small part of people on this planet are able to create. I'm really looking forward to new music for new Twin Peaks episodes.

[@teflonmagnet]

007koko007 its a blessing it happened a bit later in life...keeps them honest, hungry and creative ...longer.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Completely agree. His "minimalist" music approach is kinda like what Hans Zimmer did for Interstellar OST tracks like "Day One" and "First step"

[@dougadams3147]

What a great interview. Not necessarily the questions, but the way Badalamenti answers them.

[@yuriydisman6829]

The questions were set up well

[@lookbovine]

“It’s a Blue Velvet soap opera.” Of course! How I first saw it too actually, but the new season was something else.

[@zackearl3200]

the return is deff more straight up horror

[@nichttuntun3364]

A lot of comedy in it too. Utterly brilliant mixture. A welcome home party for the involved people. ❤

[@totalgamer1819]

What a fantastic interview!

[@Pugopugo]

Wonderful to see! I love his music and especially the score to The Straight Story is really dear to me.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

A master artist! Rest In Peace good sir!!!!

[@YoungGodOG]

The distortion on the solo is beautiful

[@dezerterone]

No doubt the World woke up from that beautiful dream that 90s were.

[@dafyddil]

I feel like that's almost what Twin Peaks is about. Waking everyone up to see the very dark things that are hidden.

[@dagaypussayeatah]

Wasn't the 90s the peak of crime in the US lol?

[@TungstenViper]

Ironically, the 90s are only remembered for the minimal good things, while everyone at the time ignored the real issues with our society. we're actually paying the price for that right now. this is literally what the new Twin Peaks is about...

[@AlexDeLarge1]

Angelo Badalamenti ⭐22 de Março de 1937 ✝11 de Dezembro de 2022 "My (musical) world is a little bit dark... a little bit off-center. I think of it as tragically beautiful. That is how I would describe what I love best: tragically beautiful."

[@aminoacids75]

Angelo had a beautiful personality and great talent. He was the only right choice to compose the Twin Peaks theme. It's undescribable. A great loss

[@nouseforaname4328]

The best composer for cinema after ennio morricone

[@rendzi5]

His name is not given to him by chance. ♡

[@anastasiatruman5324]

💋💋💋💫👏

[@kaonashi9582]

People like him really make me proud of being Sicilian.

[@completecharleston7142]

Never go up against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!

[@Herr.Mitternacht]

He was born in Brooklyn.

[@DarthBrtt]

I am only 1/4 Sicilian, but my mom's dad was 100% Sicilian so a lot of my family growing up were all Sicilian like my aunts and uncles, grandpa and his mom, my great grandma I am very proud of my Sicilian heritage. So even though Angelo may have been born here, his entire family surrounding him if they were here would have all been Sicilian and Italian. Even people like me who are only 1/4 are proud when we hear about a famous or familiar person is Sicilian, whether they are from the island, moved here or are 1st, or 2nd or even 3rd generation Sicilian-American. We are all one giant family!

[@averageskyfatherworshipper9342]

The music in the opening is from that bowling animation compilation lol

[@CookieThug]

this video, is quality

[@AdlerDanEgoe]

Oh Angelo, you practiced!

[@sebastiandario5866]

saludos desde Argentina, me encantó este video.

[@RichardJansen-j6q]

Vinnie Bell's deep bass guitar as the intro to Twin Peaks is so minimalistic but yet an integral part of this masterpiece. Vinnie suggested this and I just wanted to give him credit, he and Angelo grew up together and were best friends.

The face and voice of a mob boss, the soul of a true artist. R.I.P., Mr. Badalamenti. We are poorer for your loss.

[@koopa_soup]

Can someone please tell me how you get a piano to sound like that?!??!?!?

[@Nullllus]

It's tape's wow and flutter. It's an artifact really. Can be done with pitch modulation effects and tape emulation effects.

[@af2w131f]

He explains in another video where he's playing on a Fender Rhodes keyboard, which he says is the original keyboard where all the songs were written. It's a sort of effect of reverb, flanger type modulation that was incorporated in that keyboard made at the time.

[@KutWrite]

They misspelled "literati."
