At age 85, composer Angelo Badalamenti passed away.
Frances Badalamenti of The Hollywood Reporter broke the story first. She said that Sunday’s death was expected.
Paul Schrader, Danny Boyle, and Jane Campion were a few of the individuals that collaborated with Badalamenti. His compositions for David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks,” “Fire Walk With Me,” “Blue Velvet,” and “Mulholland Drive” among his most well-known works.
Cooperation between Lynch and Badalamenti dates back a long time.
Brooklyn-born Badalamenti is a musical jack-of-all-trades. He composed “A Christmas Carol” while teaching in Brooklyn after receiving his degree. Among other things, he penned songs for Nina Simone, including “Law and Disorder” and “Gordon’s War.” His code name was Andy Badale.
As soon as Lynch staged “Blue Velvet,” Badalamenti’s fortune altered. It was difficult for Isabella Rossellini to name the song. “The Mysteries of Love” pleased Lynch.
Laura Palmer’s motif was inspired by “Twin Peaks'” gloomy woods and owls. Palmer’s death influenced Badalamenti’s music.
Badalamenti sped up his music as Lynch spoke. Lynch hugged Badalamenti after the scene.
“I saw ‘Twin Peaks,'” he remarked. Badalamenti videotaped his writing process.
Badalamenti composed “Twin Peaks” using a mid-1970s Fender Rhodes Mark I. Badalamenti claimed the “beat up” instrument accentuated Lynch’s frightening, nightmare-like song.
Badalamenti desired melancholy music. I’ve heard terrible noises and odd music since childhood.
