Call out in the middle of the night
For when else would I hear you?
Fall out in the cold starlight
I can save you if you do

Bir sanatçının kaybı, tanımadığınız bir yakının vedası gibidir. İçinizde tanımlanamayan bir boşluk oluşur. Üretimlerinin son bulmuş olması, bir daha o eşsiz yaratıcı zihinle buluşamayacak olmanın kesinliği, gerçekliğin ağırlığını hissettirir. Büyük sanatçılar için sıkça dile getirilen bir teselli vardır: “Eserleri hep bizimle.” Bu doğru olabilir, ama değişen bir şey var yine de. Artık sizinle aynı dünyayı paylaşmayan, hayal gücünüze bir zamanlar ortak olan biri gitmiştir. Onun ardından bırakılan görkemli boşluğun yerini doldurmak imkansızdır.
The loss of an artist feels like the farewell of an unknown loved one. An indescribable emptiness forms within you. The fact that their creations have come to an end, the certainty that you will never again encounter that unique creative mind, makes the weight of reality tangible. There is a common consolation often spoken for great artists: “Their works will always be with us.” This may be true, but something still changes. Someone who once shared your imagination, who once existed in the same world as you, is now gone. The magnificent void they leave behind is impossible to fill.
“Cinema is not only watched—it is also read, felt, listened to, and dreamed.”
Someone once told me, upon hearing that I studied cinema, “Cinema is not studied; it is watched.” They didn’t realize that cinema is not only watched—it is also read, felt, listened to, and dreamed. The first thing that deeply connects me to a movie has always been its music. Days ago, Lynch, who left behind mysteries, oddities, and unimaginable dreams, departed for another realm. He was one of those directors who made me a part of his dreams. And the one thing that connected me to him the most was his relationship with music.
(David Lynch was an equally renowned painter.)
(“So This is Love” by David Lynch – 1992)
David Lynch, one of the most unique and thought-provoking figures of contemporary art, created a universe where imagination and intelligence merged, spanning from his films to his music. In his cinema, sound precedes the image. The key to the magical atmosphere emerges with the invitation of a sound that opens the depths of a scene. Lynch once said: “A film is like a song. It consists of repetitions and sudden rises. That’s how films should be thought of.”
(Angelo Badalamenti composed the scores of Lynch movies.)
On this dreamlike journey, Lynch’s most loyal companion was Angelo Badalamenti. Music in his films is not just an accompaniment but a mysterious narrator of the story. Badalamenti’s melodies intertwine sorrow with joy, tension with tranquility. This partnership will be remembered as one of the strongest artistic collaborations in cinema history.
David Lynch and His Musical Universe
Lynch’s relationship with music was not limited to his films. His music projects also showcased his distinctive creative energy. Songs from Dark Night of the Soul or his collaborations with Chrysta Bell are examples of his boundless artistic vision. Sometimes appearing as a director, sometimes as a musician, and sometimes as a photographer, Lynch was always in pursuit of the “other,” drawing his audience into the unknown.

Twin Peaks, in particular, stands as a masterpiece that blurred the boundaries between cinema and television. The music in this series does more than just create an atmosphere; it pulls the viewer into the scene, inviting them to uncover another hidden reality. This approach is also evident in Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highway, where music is an inseparable part of the storytelling.
Lynch’s influence is not limited to his own works. In 1967, David Lynch attended the Monterey Pop Festival, where he listened to Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company’s “Ball and Chain,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Wild Thing,” and Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.” Reflecting on the experience, he said: “When I heard these three songs, they were so beautiful that I practically went crazy.”
Lynch, who incorporated songs from Pixies, Björk, and David Bowie into Twin Peaks, is also a fan of Depeche Mode and Bob Dylan. In fact, he has even covered Bob Dylan’s song “The Ballad of Hollis Brown.”
Lynch’s influence extends beyond his own works. From Marilyn Manson to Trent Reznor, from Interpol to Moby, many artists have drawn inspiration from him. The Lost Highway soundtrack or projects like Playing Lynch illustrate how his art provided a creative space for others as well.
A director as full of surprises as he was with artistic depth, Lynch even once attempted to create a music video for Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album. Though the project was never completed, his vision continues to leave an impact in every detail he touched.
(David Lynch was the first director to fully and successfully adapt Frank Herbert classic DUNE to cinema.)
(1984 DUNE’s villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen portrayed by Sting.)
His world was always a complete whole—image, sound, emotion, and imagination, all seamlessly blending together. His loss once again reminds us of that indescribable void felt in the art world. In the end, one truth remains unchanged: the world is now a much quieter and much duller place.

Bir zamanlar Yugoslavya adında bir ülke vardı. Ah, Yugoslavya… Bir zamanlar Avrupa’nın güneydoğusunda, Balkan Yarımadası’nda yer alan, farklı halkları ve kültürleri bir araya getiren eşsiz bir ülkeydi. 20. yüzyılın en ilginç ülkelerinden biri olarak görülebilir belki de. Josip Broz Tito önderliğinde, yüzlerce yıl boyunca birbirinden nefret etmiş onlarca halkın bir arada, kardeşçe yaşamayı başardığı o güzel Balkan ülkesi, Yugoslavya.

Fleetwood Mac grubunun adı baterist Mick Fleetwood ve bas gitarist John McVie’nin isimlerinden oluşur. Fleetwood Mac; 1967’de Mick Fleetwood (davul), Peter Green (vokal), John McVie (bas gitar), Bob Brunning (gitar) ve Christine McVie (klavye) tarafından Londra’da kurulan bir rock grubudur. Fleetwood Mac’in ilk dönemlerinde, yani 60’ların sonlarından 70’lerin başlarına kadar, İngiliz Blues Akımı etkisinde olduklarını görüyoruz. Ancak yine o de onları tek bir kategoride incelemek doğru olmaz.
