If the early ‘90s cult hit Twin Peaks seems inextricable from its soundtrack, consider that creator David Lynch sat beside composer Angelo Badalmenti as the score came together. As Lynch visualized the show’s idiosyncratic characters and central tensions out loud, Badalamenti thrummed along on his Fender Rhodes keyboard in real time. That’s why the Twin Peaks soundtrack doesn’t merely create a small-town forest noir mood; these sounds practically anthropomorphize and take shape before the listener.
