===Music=== {{Main|Music of Twin Peaks}} {{Listen|filename=Twin Peaks Theme.ogg|title="Twin Peaks Theme"|format=[[Ogg]]|description=A 30 second sample of [[Angelo Badalamenti]]'s ''Twin Peaks'' theme}} The score for ''Twin Peaks'' has received acclaim; ''[[The Guardian]]'' wrote that it "still marks the summit of TV soundtracks".<ref name=g/> In fall 1989, composer [[Angelo Badalamenti]] and Lynch created the score for the show. In 20 minutes they produced the signature theme for the series. Badalamenti called it the "Love Theme from ''Twin Peaks''". Lynch told him: "You just wrote 75% of the score. It's the mood of the whole piece. It is ''Twin Peaks''."<ref name="givens">{{cite magazine |last=Givens |first=Ron |title=Creative Contrasts: Making Moody Music |url=https://ew.com/article/1990/04/06/music-twin-peaks/ |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=April 6, 1990 |access-date=April 17, 2020 |archive-date=August 31, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140831215023/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,317090,00.html |url-status=live}}</ref> While creating the score, Lynch often described the moods or emotions he wanted the music to evoke, and Badalamenti began to play the piano. In the scenes dominated by young men, they are accompanied by music that Badalamenti called [[Cool Jazz]]. The characters' masculinity was enhanced by finger-snapping, "cocktail-lounge [[electric piano]], pulsing [[Bass instrument|bass]], and lightly brushed [[percussion]]."<ref name="givens" /> A handful of the motifs were borrowed from [[Julee Cruise]]'s 1989 album ''[[Floating into the Night]]'', which was written in large part by Badalamenti and Lynch and was released in 1989. This album also serves as the soundtrack to another Lynch project, ''[[Industrial Symphony No. 1]]'', a live Cruise performance also featuring Michael J. Anderson. An instrumental version of the song "[[Falling (Julee Cruise song)|Falling]]" became the theme to the show, and the songs "[[Rockin' Back Inside My Heart]]", "The Nightingale", "The World Spins", and "Into the Night" (found in their full versions on the album) were all, except the last, used as Cruise's roadhouse performances during the show's run. The lyrics for all five songs were written by Lynch.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/r4879 |title=Floating into the Night β Julee Cruise |website=AllMusic |access-date=January 16, 2011 |archive-date=December 28, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201228024601/https://www.allmusic.com/album/floating-into-the-night-mw0000205932 |url-status=live}}</ref> A second volume of the soundtrack was released on October 30, 2007, to coincide with the Definitive Gold Box DVD set.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GD3ILI/ |title=Twin Peaks: Season Two Music And More |website=Amazon |access-date=January 16, 2011 |archive-date=March 19, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210319174555/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GD3ILI/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In March 2011, Lynch began releasing ''[[The Twin Peaks Archive]]'' β a collection of previously unavailable tracks from the series and the film via his website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/music/new-songs-photos-davidlynch-com/ |title=New Twin Peaks Songs & Photos At DavidLynch.com |publisher=WelcomeToTwinPeaks.com |date=April 6, 2011 |access-date=June 10, 2011 |archive-date=March 25, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325133458/http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/music/new-songs-photos-davidlynch-com/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://davidlynch.com/ |title=David Lynch Music Company |publisher=DavidLynch.com |access-date=June 10, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110304011109/http://davidlynch.com/ |archive-date=March 4, 2011}}</ref> As of February 8, 2024, the site is no longer active and it appears there is no way to legally obtain the bundle of all files previously offered for sale.
