  About the Soundtrack

David Lynch (Director/Writer)

Sound and picture moving together in time is a magical thing. And sound does so many things. You can have a scene and introduce the right sounds and the scene changes before your eyes and ears, a whole other world opens up, moods sweep in and those sounds can march us through and indicate so many things as we go. And it's one of the elements that's the most critical to the whole. And it's a process of action and reaction. You don't know everything going in but you act and react as you go. It's always an experiment. Mary will tell you I sit sometimes in the editing room and she'll turn around and I'm crying. Emotion is the thing that cinema can do. But it's tricky. It really shows you how this balance point is critical. A little bit too much and the emotion goes away, a little bit too little and it doesn't happen.

Angelo Badalamenti (Composer)

Sound design these days especially in movies is a very very important thing. The layers of sound and music together these days become more and more important. But you still need the important melody from time to time to be able to reach the heart of people. So it's that combination but I think David is an expert in sound design and it's one of his great loves so he can best describe that.
