Always Music in the Air: The Sound of Twin Peaks Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

A first-time-ever exploration of the 290 songs from the entirety of Twin Peaks, sure to entice fans of the David Lynch-Mark Frost's cult classic that revolutionized TV, with brand-new interviews with Frost and several of the key composers and musicians involved. "Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song and there's always music in the air." When author Scott Ryan (Fire Walk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared, The Last Days of Letterman) heard those words on the television series Twin Peaks in 1990, he wanted to live there as well. Problem was, most of the music that played in Twin Peaks were not released. Only one soundtrack came out from the series, and one from the film. It wasn't until 2011 that director David Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti opened the archives and released every track on MP3. These tracks were never officially released and do not stream anywhere today. Ryan interviews band members who performed the songs and music editors and directors from the series and draws from archived interviews with the late Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise. This book explores all the music that was in the air, from Cruise's 1989 release Floating into the Night through all the Twin Peaks soundtracks, the 2011 online releases called the Twin Peaks Archives, and the releases from Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017. Ryan conducts brand new-Interviews with Dean Hurley (composer for The Return, curator of the Twin Peaks Archive), Tim Hunter (director), Lori Eschler (music editor), David Slusser (composer, music editor), Kevin Laffey (A&R for Julee Cruise), Duwayne Dunham (editor, director), Kinny Landrum, (keyboards) and Al Regni (saxophone). Also included are excerpts from Ryan's 2018 interview with Cruise. Foreword by Brad Dukes (Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks). Read more
