Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 6:Normal Speed Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 6:
Normal Speed Twin Peaks (18:01)

By now Twin Peaks fans are familiar with the various Slow/Half Speed Orchestra tracks used in the series. These tracks were slowed down from their original speed for their use in the show, giving them a much different, and often more ominous feel. Even though these compositions weren’t heard at their normal, original speed in the series, its still very interesting to hear them that way. And it sometimes produces surprisingly different results. The dark “Black Lodge Rumble”, for example, becomes lush and lovely. “24 Hours” is likewise quite beautiful. And in FWWM’s “It’s Your Father” (played forward as well as at normal speed), we hear some choir/choral work that was never evident before.

So here are all of the slow speed tracks in their original speed. Only “Danger Theme” was ever used that way- the edited (mixed speed-ending) TV version of which appears in Mix 2.
