Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 2: Night Life In Twin Peaks (Mixcloud Mix)

Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 2:
Night Life In Twin Peaks (72:33)

My Twin Peaks mix series continues with a trip into the dark underbelly of Twin Peaks. Dark soundscapes replace the more familiar jazz underpinnings of the town. Murder, vengeful husbands, illegal activity, and even otherwordly beings; this mix focuses on the darker aspects of the soundtrack, particularly “Unease Motif”, “OAM’s Theme” "Renault's Theme" and “Danger Theme”. Some are based on mixes heard in the show (some of which I’ve extended), and I've created some original mixes as well.

Listen to the mix on Mixcloud here. “Now it’s dark.”

1. Audrey's Dance (OAM & Renault Mix) (4:59)
Although eventually used separately, as well as mixed with “Unease Motif” as part of the mix track “Night Life In Twin Peaks”, the clarinet solos that eventually became “The One-Armed Man's Theme” & “Jean Renault’s Theme” started life as alternate solo overlays for “Freshly Squeezed &/or Audrey’s Dance”. Here is what they would sound like as originally envisioned- mixed over the “clean” version of “Audrey’s Dance” (slightly sped-up to match the Freshly Squeezed and Clarinet solos’ speed).
Mix includes:
- One-Armed Man’s Theme (Solo Clarinet Improv)
- Jean Renault’s Theme (Solo Bass Clarinet)
- Audrey’s Dance (Clean) [slightly sped up]
