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]

2. Laura Palmer's Theme (Baritone Guitar Punctuation) (Danger Mix) (2:30)

3. Meeting With Leo (Mix) (4:46)

Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 1: Slow Speed Twin Peaks (Mixcloud Mix)

Now that the Archive releases are over, I thought I'd share some of my own mixes/versions with you via mixcloud. Check out the Twin Peaks Archive Extra tab above for artwork as well. The first mix is:

Twin Peaks Soundtrack Design Mix 1:

Slow Speed Twin Peaks (59:45)

This is a mix of the slower speed and half-speed versions of normal tracks heard on the show. Including some mixed with other elements. As we know, there were several "Slow Speed Orchestra" tracks used on Twin Peaks, but they also played with altering the speed of many of their normal tracks as well. In addition, the last four tracks are examples of some of the wonderful mixes created for the show. I especially love the use of "Jean Renault's Theme" in tracks 13 & 14- two of the best mixes created for the series. I have created full length tracks for all, instead of the edits heard in the episodes.
