Index – Culture – He is as great a musician as he is a filmmaker

If it's David Lynch, then Twin Peaks. This will remain so only as long as the world exists. And three days. After the cult series, famous Lynch films appeared, such as Dune, Blue Velvet, Lost in the World, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. More interested people will probably have visited the inaugural exhibition of the 2019 Budapest Photo Festival at Műcsarnok, where they learned about the professor's series of surreal photomontages entitled Small Stories. In addition to all this (and others such as video works, books and online sales), David Lynch is a famous musician. His latest work is the album Cellophane Memories with Chrystabell.

David Lynch is a multi-faceted musician who works in several genres, from rock to electronic pop to dream pop, as in this current album.

Making music with David is like a vision crystallizing out of thin air that you can capture, taste and hear…you have to find the point in yourself where you can filter it and let it flow. It's a bit like what modalities do: you come out of your body, but at the same time you're in tune with David and putting your whole musical knowledge into action to express his musical ideas.

Christabel explained in an interview.

Few films, but high quality

David Lynch only directed ten films in three decades, but they were all masterpieces, and at the same time, they all became blockbusters the day they were released. Regardless of whether it is based on a traditional plot, such as The Elephant Man, The Lost World and True Story, a genre film such as Dune, Lost Highway or a surreal film noir typical of Lynch, such as Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire.

The 2006 film director's farewell to the screen. But only from cinema, where the creator is very active in cyberspace. In 2007, The Guardian gathered its best critics, who declared at the end of their roundtable discussion:

David Lynch is the most important film director of our time.

What can I say? You have to stop at the top.

As I mentioned, he of course did not stop filming. In 2017, the legendary series from the nineties, Twin Peaks, appeared with another season. Additionally, all eighteen return episodes were directed by Lynch.

Forced farewell

And why he had to say goodbye to the arrangement, he himself will testify:

I've developed emphysema from smoking too much, so whether I like it or not, I'm forced to stay home. If I go out, I can only walk short distances because I run out of oxygen.

For David Lynch, smoking was part of artistic life.

Tobacco and its smell as you sit and light up and watch your work or think about things. There is nothing in the world as beautiful as this. It was killing me in the process, so I had to stop

He explained.

Fans can rest assured, however, that Master Lynch's works, music and video sketches he composed for them (he approved several clips) can be viewed on his YouTube channel, David Lynch Theater.
