Black Lodge Bundle And Love Theme (Dark) Released

These two releases have recently been added to the Twin Peaks Archive over at the David Lynch Music Company:

BLACK LODGE BUNDLE

[wpaudio url=”http://davidlynch.com/music/Twin-Peaks-Archive/Dugpas.ogg” text=”Half Speed Orchestra (Dugpas)” dl=”0″]

The final remaining found archive slow speed orchestra cuts are presented here in this ‘Black Lodge’-themed bundle. Although each are only a minute to a minute an a half in duration, their brief run-times are testaments to the ‘building block’ nature of much of this style of music woven throughout the series. Four additional tracks are included: The Red Room (in its stand-alone form), Laura’s Dark Boogie (Clean) – a version of the track sans overdubs that appears in the latter half of Fire Walk With Me, The Culmination – a largely unheard full-length track also known as The Owl, as well as a distant train horn tone-pad used to musical ends in Fire Walk With Me.

• Half Speed Orchestra 4 (Dugpas)
• Half Speed Orchestra 6 (Bob’s Dance/Back to Missuola)
• Half Speed Orchestra 7
• The Culmination
• Distant Train
• Laura’s Dark Boogie (Clean)
• The Red Room

LOVE THEME (DARK)

After stripping back several layers of Love Theme From Twin Peaks, we arrive at this sparse, ‘dark’ version of the composition. The intro section here has been reduced to a solitary low-register Rhodes (heard below flute in previous versions of the track). Flute then joins the bridge section almost like a single candle in a light-less room…brightening the overall timbre of the track as it compositionally ascends. High synth strings finally arrive in unison at the crescendo, creating perhaps the most intense tonal contrast between A and B sections when compared with other versions of the composition. The result is an unassuming emotional punch that is delivered without the track’s traditional employment of its signature piano.
