Twin Peaks The Return: Part 8, with Clare Nina Norelli

Take a deep breath, bring your zippo and remember to blink, it’s time to strap in and set the controls for Part 8...

First, meet your copilot Clare Nina Norelli. Clare was already an accomplished writer about film sound, music and David Lynch before she wrote the book Soundtrack to Twin Peaks in which she tackles Lynch and Badalamenti's use of music in the first two seasons. All this, and analysis critics describe as being "from the heart" and "surprisingly decent."

Shownotes:

On this episode we mention Herk Harvey’s 1962 film Carnival of Souls and Gene Moore’s organ-heavy score. Like any self-respecting Lynch academic, Clare wrote about this film years ago and you can find her essay on the film and its soundtrack, which many attentive Twin Peaks viewers have mentioned influenced some scenes in Part 8, here - https://cinemaandsong.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/carnival-of-souls/

If you don’t already own a copy of Clare’s book, you can find out more about it and source a copy here - http://www.bloomsbury.com/au/angelo-badalamentis-soundtrack-from-twin-peaks-9781501323010/

The two sound nerds who carry around frequency analysers on a daily basis that Andy mentions are future guest of the show Jessica Pinney and Thembi Soddell, both currently engaged in researching sound and emotion at Melbourne's RMIT University.
