There are few TV shows that have a soundtrack quite as memorable as Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. During its short original run in the early ‘90s, Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti’s eerie pop and jazz compositions were an essential part of the show that had us all asking: who killed Laura Palmer?
In 2018, five Melbourne musicians joined together under the name Beautiful Dark to perform the soundtrack. They’ve now developed their own cult following and have even caught the attention of several original cast members. The band is returning with a new show at Melbourne Fringe in which they’ll recreate the score live on stage, taking audiences on a journey through the series using projections, lighting and surprises.
