In 2008, David Lynch teamed up with Polish concert pianist and composer Marek Zebrowski to create an album titled Polish Night Music. Now, after five years, that album is being reissued on deluxe 2xLP via Sacred Bones Records and will be released on November 13th. Pre-orders are already available here.
Direct from the official press release is an explanation of how the album came to be:
Zebrowski and Lynch first met during the Camerimage Film Festival in Lodz, Poland, and started to work together during the organic evolution of Lynch’s Inland Empire. Originally, Zebrowski served as a translator for the shooting of several Lodz-based Polish scenes in Empire, but upon discovering their shared interest in musical experimentation and improvisation, Lynch invited Zebrowski to his Los Angeles studio to participate in a series of musical experiments. From these initial collaborations, inspired by their unique and distinct connections to Poland, emerged a tangible mood and distinctly modern texture that became Polish Night Music.
Zebrowski explains, “Poland) is a landscape that continues to remain at once familiar and completely alien to me. Every time I am there, I am surprised by some- thing, and I think for David, Poland certainly represents the process of discovery.”
