Matt Marble put out a call for contributions to a special issue of the AMP journal on the sounds of David Lynch, so I wrote a score. It’s included in this special release chock full of information and tributes. If you don’t know about the American Museum of Paramusicology, you probably should so check it out.

You can buy this issue for just $5 or for the very same price, subscribe to the journal and get a whole lot more! Matt says:

I am blissed out to devote this 80-page issue to one of my personal heroes, David Lynch. As most now know, an emphysema-related heart attack took David’s life on January 16th, 2025, amidst his evacuation during the L.A. fires. This issue celebrates David’s art life, soundscape, and spiritual influences. The issue begins with my “sonic glossary” of Twin Peaks. Then I offer a reflection on my recent encounter with Rebekah del Rio at Bob’s Big Boy and the singing ghost of Mulholland Drive, which has us exploring the Mexican folk legend of La Llorona. Then I’ll share a look into the AMP archives regarding the lost ending of David Lynch’s Dune through some original production materials and recent authorship. The second half of this issue is dedicated to guest submissions, each honoring David in their own way through photography, painting, poetry, essay, and more. Thank you: Eric Bonce, Chris Bugnacki, David García Casado, Ashley Cassandras, Matthew Corey, Arrington de Dionyso, Lorna Dune, Patrick Emm, Samuel Garrett, Chris Jones, Kate Laity, Este Lewis, Laurence Lillvik, Beth Liseck, George Meflesh, Tristan Peterson, Nick Podgurski, Afifa Sanef, Alexander Terrazas, Cat Tyc. And thank you, David Lynch.
