Few directors garner the same amount of awe as the late David Lynch. The visionary behind Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and of course, a little television show called Twin Peaks, Lynch’s sprawling influence extends far beyond filmmaking. Visual artists, musicians and creatives of all stripes cite his work as a key touchstone.
While we’re all fans here at MusicRadar, someone who feels Lynch’s legacy more keenly than most is actor and musician Alicia Witt. Witt first met Lynch when she was cast as Alia Atreides in the original Dune at the young age of seven. Impressed by her precocious talents, Lynch then cast her in Twin Peaks as the younger sister of series co-lead Lara Flynn Boyle. It was there that Lynch became aware of Witt's developing aptitude as a pianist.
