Mountains Falling
The song that is played when Adam, perhaps, announces his engagement or wedding to Camilla, is co-written by David Lynch. It is contained on the CD called Blue Bob, is called "Mountains Falling" and is played in Mulholland Drive at the same time when Diane is humiliated, falling into her personal abyss, from the party at the top of the mountain down to the diner in the city, where she may be buying a hit man to kill Camilla. - (ID-ea)
John Neff (Sound designer) on the recording process
"Well, we
recorded in Prague, with the symphony there. David and Angelo had been there
two other times, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. So some of it is orchestral,
and some of it isn’t. The opening track is a "jitterbug" kind of
theme. We had a band, and members of the orchestra that played other
instruments the last day of the session, and they set up, and we sort of
coached them through that. The main title theme from the TV show was done by
Angelo on the synthesizer, and then in Prague, we recorded the strings to go
underneath it. They didn’t replace the synth, because David loved the
feeling and timing of how Angelo played, but it's augmented with the
orchestra.
Some of the incidental music is recorded by the orchestra, and then once we
get it on the mix stage, Dave likes to sometimes slow thing down, add a lot of
reverb. He uses reverb like an instrument. Lots of long reverbs that then
produce notes that we blend in, and things like that, so he really paints with
a broad brush reverb wise. Mr. Roque's theme was cut back in December of 1998
before David started mixing The Straight Story. There's other artists music in
the film, not like Lost Highway, that really modern heavy metal stuff…
except for mine and David's music of course (Blue Bob), but he has some 50's
stuff in there as well.
We actually ran into a snafu with this movie, one of the songs in the film
("Sixteen Reasons") is not on the soundtrack album because the
licensing fees and the other requirements were so far and beyond what the
other artists were getting, that the record company said "No, we’re not
going to do it."
John Neff on The "Jitterbug" recording
"The Jitterbug contest music was the last thing we recorded in Prague during the scoring sessions for Mulholland Drive, in December of 2000. I had made a beatmap of the music piece David had cut the scene to, because either the rights to use that piece were too expensive or it was not available at all. So the musicians had to 'jam' to an existing beat track, and one of them made a comment just as the track started. It is embedded, and David kind of liked it. The language is Czech. Interestingly, the horns were overdubbed and David did not like them at their proper pitch, so I lowered them one octave. That's why they sound so haunting. David and I sort of composed the part back in Hollywood from various parts that were not recorded at the same time, which is why we put an "Arranged By" credit on the track."
