‘Sublime eternal love exists within each one of us’: David Lynch on music, friendship and life’s biggest mystery


The director, along with his collaborator Chrystabell explain – or try to – their new album Cellophane Memories and the magical marriage of music and film

From industrial drones to soaring ballads, it has always been filled with music: think of Roy Orbison songs shattering reality in Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, or Julee Cruise’s spectral singing in Twin Peaks. These vocals are twisted and layered in dreamy collages, recalling his other distortions of the human voice, from the reversed dialogue in Twin Peaks’ Black Lodge to early short films such as 1968’s The Alphabet. The mind-bending eighth episode of Twin Peaks’ third series,exploring the origins of the interdimensional entity Bob, trades dialogue almost entirely for music – from 1950s pop vocal group the Platters to Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.
