Josh Stebbins "NO STARS" Suite.

tribute to TWIN PEAKS

"There could be a connection I feel to certain characters experiencing deep sadness, frustrations...even total confusion. I might have chosen these characters subconsciously, trying to relate my own emotions.

When Rebekah Del Rio is singing “No Stars” in Twin Peaks the Return, it’s a strangely beautiful combination of hope and despair...that’s what I took away from it anyways. I feel that same thing in my life, and in my art. I think I interrupted her to a saintly icon in that role because much like martyrs, hope (or transcendence) is perhaps achieved through despair or pain...the song “No Stars” that Rebekah sings moves me in that direction. There are so many emotions colliding it’s hard to really describe..." - Josh Stebbins 2018
