Rest in peace Angelo Badalamenti (1937-2022), composer of the music for Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and other David Lynch directed masterpieces, who died today.

His music was exceptional, emotive and he had a tremendous impact on film score composition.

It is sad to see that Al Strobel (1940-2022), the One Armed Man (severed to form MIKE) from Twin Peaks also died earlier this month. Julee Cruise (1956-2022), who sang on various songs for Twin Peaks, also died earlier this June.
