RIP: David Lynch

:wave:hello I use this: ‎Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom in de App Store
But is not for free. You can ask for a scholarship to get it for free or a discount, i paid about 60 euro’s for it tru the scholarship.
I got to know this app through nick cave, i went to a performance with a q&a and him only performing… Someone asked him about meditating and he mentioned Sam Harris and this app.
What i like is the down to earth approach, but what i like most is the voice of sam harris :joy: i’m very sound sensitive, i cannot listen to guided meditations when the voice sounds not nice in my ears…sam harris voice calms me down

Hah, thank you! I have tried to use those apps but I more want to chat with someone IRL to give me tips over “guided” voices in an app :slight_smile:

Voices I suppose have a countereffect in that they are distracting, which is funny because I don’t have an issue with trance states or hypnosis otherwise, but that’s generally contextual.

For anyone with a lot of money in their pocket there is a rather extensive auction being held of some of Mr. Lynch’s personal possessions including some production equipment, books, musical instruments, drum kit, espresso machine, cameras, etc.

The David Lynch Collection

Some rather historic items are part of this collection, and the early bidding makes it look like it’s going to be a doozy.

RIP and thanks for all the good ones. I hope that whoever scores your Mr. Coffee brand coffee maker (current bid $500USD) enjoys a nice hot cup of joe every morning with you in mind.

I love that there are Sony A7 cameras with lensbabies.

Edit: just browsing through the auction confirms that Lynch was 100% the real deal.

Yeah, it’s all choice goods. Even the kitsch is real, bonafide factory stamped kitsch.

I’m delighted to learn that David Lynch owned and played a Parker Fly with a midi pickup-

  • and this is absolutely charming:

In Lynch’s 2013 documentary on the making of The Big Dream, Lynch seems electrified as he describes his love of the guitar: “I started playing guitar only because one was there, and I wanted to see what sound effects I could make on it. But in making sound effects with the guitar, a deep thrill went into me, down into my soul. I loved working that thing.”

Lynch played guitar in a highly unconventional manner. With the guitar seated in his lap in a left-handed position and tuned to an open tuning, he would tap and swipe at the neck while actuating the vibrato arm with his left hand. When paired with the Roland GK-2 pickup installed on the Parker Fly, David used the VG-8 to change chords as he strummed the strings near the nut using his right hand. When powered on, the unit boots into a setting called DAV50, with the four numbered pedals cycling through A, F#mi, E, and D chords. Setting DAV50 is a clean guitar sound with a pulsing, Fender-like tremolo effect which is, in a word, perfectly Lynchian. The VG-8EX contains numerous other DAV50 user patches for different musical keys including F, E, D, Dmi, and Ab, and more.

All this makes me kind of sad. Not here to judge lynch’s family choices but… Well in my humble opinion all this should mostly go to a museum instead of being spread all around.

I think there is so much stuff (in particular furniture) that you could fill several museums with it. Better to sell it to someone than to throw it into the garbage in the end.

Same. It’s depressingly morbid.

I just saw this on reddit - who knows how real it is, but apparently this was what Lynch wanted.

it sounds like these auction items are just the stuff that was never intended to be in a permanent installation anyway. hopefully they find a spot in LA for the crown jewels

Yeah, have people gone through it all? There’s a lot of crap, TBH.

The workshop stuff is cool if you’re in the area, but it’ll probably go for more than the same old saws on craigslist.

There was an AliExpress megaphone going for $900+ when I checked right after, the Lynch family doesn’t need “David Lynch” model speakers or chairs etc.

There’s some fun ephemera but this stuff isn’t museum quality unless you’re talking about grabbing some gift-painting for some restaurant/bar tchotchke wall of collectibles.

https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/1426191/david-lynch-danny-ferrington-custom-five-neck-console-guitar-designed-and-studio-played-by-david-lyn did tempt me when it was closer to $500 though!
