Angelo Badalamenti, ‘Twin Peaks’ composer and David Lynch collaborator, dead at 85

Angelo Badalamenti, the composer and David Lynch collaborator best known for scoring “Twin Peaks,” “Wild at Heart” and “Blue Velvet,” has died. He was 85.

“The family of composer Angelo Badalamenti confirms that he passed away December 11 of natural causes surrounded by his family,” Laura Engel of Kraft-Engel Management, his agent and dear friend since 2005, told The Times on Monday. “He was a loving husband, father and grandfather.”

Badalamenti and Lynch were longtime collaborators, with the composer once calling their relationship “my second-best marriage in the world.”
