Angelo Badalamenti For Balenciaga Music
As part of the Balenciaga Music Series, an original playlist that was hand-selected
by Badalamenti featuring a compilation of his own works will be available to stream
or download at balenciaga.com/angelobadalamenti.
Simultaneously, a series of
limited-edition Balenciaga Music | Angelo Badalamenti merch will be available in
selected stores and on balenciaga.com. T-shirts and crewneck sweatshirts feature
a graphic based on Badalamenti’s hand-scripted score, “Torch Theme.” A dedicated
campaign that was photographed and filmed in New York at Manhattan School of
Music involves some of the school’s students and members of Badalamenti’s
family wearing the designs.

ANGELO BADALAMENTI PLAYLIST
FOR BALENCIAGA
This playlist, series, and campaign will also announce a partnership with Manhattan
School of Music, the conservatory where Badalamenti received his bachelor’s and
master’s degree, and composition department head Dr. Reiko Fueting. As an
homage to Badalamenti that in turn teaches students about his impressive oeuvre,
this partnership involves the creation of a dedicated master class that invites
participants to compose inspired original works to continue the late composer’s
legacy. The masterclass, sponsored by Balenciaga, will be offered gratis for
students currently attending Manhattan School of Music.
Angelo Badalamenti was an acclaimed composer and arranger, widely known for
his film scores and pop collaborations. He received his degrees from Manhattan
School of Music in the 1950s. He worked closely with director David Lynch starting
in 1986, when he soundtracked the film Blue Velvet. Among his many awards are a
Best Pop Instrumental Performance Grammy for the Twin Peaks theme, and
several lifetime achievement honors.
