The Screening Room will be showing “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me,” the 1992 prequel to classic television series “Twin Peaks,” on Sept. 27, but they’ll be screening it with a twist.

The music score will be live and improvised.

The showing is put on by Double Vision, a local screening series at The Screening Room. Every month, it plays two thematically-connected movies and features a collaboration with a local artist.

According to Double Vision curator Reed Chandler, this month is different because of the Arizona Underground Film Festival.

“We just wanted to do something kind of special for the Arizona Underground Film Fest, and rather than do our standard double feature with an artist collab, we wanted to do a really specific movie and do a live score with it,” Chandler said.

The score will be played with collaborator Desert Drone. Desert Drone is a showcase in Arizona that features ambient and drone music. According to Zack Hansen, curator of Desert Drone, ambient music is “very multifaceted.”

“It’s simultaneously background music and something to deeply focus on at the same time,” Hasen said. “It’s usually vocal-less, but you can still make ambient music with vocals. There’s usually no percussion, but there can be percussion. It’s very liquid, and it flows. You hear it, and you know it’s ambient, but it’s very difficult to describe.”

“Drone is ambient music but ambient music is not drone,” he said. “They overlap a lot, but drone is sometimes harsher, sometimes more repetitive, sometimes darker.”

The artists playing at the screening are The (Arc) Collective, Maiiuwak, and Desert Drone curator Zack Hansen himself. Desert Drone has shows of their own throughout Arizona, and Hansen is very excited for the collab screening.

“I’m really excited. I’m also nervous because it’s such a cult classic, and we have to make sure people enjoy themselves,” Hansen said.

Double Vision’s collaborations have evolved throughout its year of operation, having started in November of 2023.

“It was mostly tattoo artists first, and a couple of burlesque shows,” Chandler said. “We had a band play last year for the Underground Film Fest, but right now we’re in a space of wanting to do collabs with stuff like Desert Drone or Cyberfuck — other groups that do events at the Screening Room — to cross-collab and maybe introduce people to our event that wouldn’t normally know about it.”

Past Double Vision collaborator and tattoo artist Sophie McTear said their time at The Screening Room was a blast. Where did you find this info? Website or from an in person source?

“It was really fun. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies, so it was really cool to make some art that was inspired by a movie that I really like,” McTear said. “To be able to work in community with people is really exciting for me.”

The Arizona Underground Film Festival runs through Sept. 28.

Double Vision and Desert Drone’s screening of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.
