bow to David Lynch
by @mahtowin
Liner Notes
one of my always favorite movies is "The Elephant Man" by David Lynch. I must have been about 15 when I watched this movie and it touched me deeply! I have always been a fan of Mr. Lynchs work and how he points out that there is something ominous and insane in the background of reality.
So this is my bow to him.

This is a thing of wonder. There is so much sonic goodness in this, and it sounds just like it could have been pulled, fully formed, from "Inland Empire" or "Mulholland Drive." I'm still processing David's death. That third sequence of Twin Peaks stories he talked about making will never happen, now. I'm bereft. I'd much rather be living in a timeline where it does.
It’s an eerie presence pulsating and moaning, capturing the ominous and insane for sure!
Odd and scary as it should be. My subconscious is trembling -- but also willing to walk the dark path that unfolds before me. The little percussions bits that kind of punctuate the eerie synth lines are really clever. It's like you order us to shake. Excellent tribute, love it!
love it!! A very nice tribute to Mr Lynch!
Some dark and unsettling sounds, the sweeps are like darkness approaching, fits the Lynchian feel on point!
Really weird and ominous soundscape that recalls some of Lynch's eerier moments. I like that tremolo string section and the strange unsettling noises (sounds like souls crying in Hell) and the minimal percussion. Well done! This could be the intro tape for our first concert ...
Yup, you're creating the unsettling vibe I get from his films. That sort of inevitability, like the darkness is coming for you whether you're ready or not. I am a bit creeped out now.
Yes, we're lucky because we can hear reality's background. And this background is deep and ominous. And you've gotten it across well. Nice work.
the soundtrack for eraserhead is one of my favorite soundtracks. saying this, i must also add that this would be my favorite soundtrack were this the soundtrack for eraserhead. it is a completely different piece of music, yet would be just as effective as the original in its intent to disturb by turning reality on its ear, bringing to the fore the unsettling environmental sounds that we push into the background as we make our pedestrian commutes across an industrialized landscape.
Why am I not surprised ? I do feel like his work and your share some common roots. Dreamy strangeness and unexpected lyricism. This tune sounds like your middleground. This seems to tell a story that you will need time to wrap your head around.
