David Lynch is an American Film director, widely known for his critically acclaimed TV series Twin Peaks, along with his films Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. Out of the foray of mainstream film directors currently working in Hollywood today, it is safe to say that David Lynch is the most experimental of them all. From his kooky storylines, oddball and miscoded characters and a distinct style of score, you know you are watching a David Lynch film, even if it is Dune.
David Lynch isn’t on my experimental film module prospectus; however, I am too interested to not include him in my film. One of the things that stand out to me regarding David Lynch is how he co-creates the musical score, something that surprised me. From the beautiful theme of Twin Peaks, to the bodacious score for Mulholland Drive, this level of auteurship is magnificent. It is something I want to implement in my film, too. Although my musical tastes fit more to American Hard Rock bands such as Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Motley Crue, that didn’t stop me from picking up the bass guitar. I intend on referencing British New Wave band Duran Duran for my project. One of Lynch’s more internet-loved works is Rabbits, a surrealist look on a group of human-like rabbits in a state of psychosis. Although the visuals and story are just about as David Lynchian as any of his projects, the actual musical score itself is bonkers. This is something I would not mind implementing into my own experimental film, by creating a bass score for my own work. Maddening.
