In celebration of the 30th anniversary of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks film Fire Walk With Me (1992), WA-founded new music ensemble Decibel transforms PICA into a progressive concert environment of red velvet and haunting new music tunes in Twin Peaks Was 30.
Experience a series of unfolding compositions in a unique concert environment that pays tribute to the theme song’s composer, Angelo Badalamenti, and featured singer, Julee Cruise, with a 30-minute reworking of the original film score. Expect synth instrumentals and Cruise-inspired songs backed by signature twanging guitars and reverb-drenched soundscapes.
With lighting by celebrated designer Jenny Hector, the program features new compositions by Rebecca E. Smith (WA), Matt Warren (Tasmania) and Rachael Dease (WA – who also sings in the program,) as well a work by Twin Peaks die-hard James Rushford (VIC).
Twin Peaks Was 30 is the second in the Decibel Was series that celebrates important dates in retrospect. It continues the ensemble’s ongoing explorations of arranging film and pop music for chamber music performances, adapting work from Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Scott Walker, Low and others.
Presented by PICA and Tura.
Enjoy a complimentary Twin Peaks-inspired drink with your ticket.
