@charlesavelange: My first @StarTrek theme. Looking forward to 2017's opportunities! #StarTrekDiscovery #Orchestra #filmmaking… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/816817248757161985
Possible music from Discovery revealed on twitter
- Thread starter RAMA
- Start date
Overall it seems pretty good though.
Based on what he said in the prevous Tweet:
Says to me that he wrote this music specifically for CBS to use for upcoming CBSAA commercials before the Superbowl as well as during the Neilsen Sweeps period in February on CBS-owned channels CBS, The CW, MTV Networks, BET Networks. Since no footage has been shot yet of Star Trek DSC it may be that they intend to use this music as teases on Social Media and during a Winter investors meeting for CBS with a few shots of Star Trek DSC.This recording session was a showcase for CBS indeed. But nothing can be said at this time
The recording session video was uploaded in YouTube in September 2016…

That would be before it was announced that ST DSC would be pushed to a May 2017 premiere date. So some music is in the can and he may be one of 2 or 3 composers for the 13-episodes. Maybe he is doing the premiere episode for DSC? Maybe he is only doing music for the promos leading up to May's premiere?
Maybe he is scoring another one of CBSAA original programs? The Good Wife spinoff show titled The Good Fight does not have a Composer listed on imdb even though that show starts in February on CBSAA.

Parts of it reminded me of Apollo 13.
According to his Facebook it was recorded back in APRIL..........shocked nobody found it before!

IMDb is user-contributed. Either the composer has to be announced that way a non-industry person can submit it, the composer him or herself submits it, somebody on the production submits it, or it doesn't get listed.
I did a quick search and I couldn't find any composer mentioned yet.
It could be no one has been hired yet -- late game hires do happen. It could also be somebody was hired and has scored the pilot, but the producers and/or studio isn't liking it and they're looking for somebody else. Pilot scores do get tossed, and in at least two examples I knjow of, a composer scored multiple episodes but then all were rejected and a new series composer hired.
Chances are if somebody does get announced, you'll see it on www.FilmMusicReporter.com
In regards to this Trek music demo, it's just there for me; not particularly noticable or memorable, but also not inoffensive. I'd say the hunt still needs to go on.
I would also hope what ever theme is used, it opens with the Courage fanfare. Goldsmith and Rosenman were right to do the same for the films.
We don't know yet if they are recording with an orchestra for score to be used i na show -- this is a demo, and it's not rare that demos get recorded with orchestras.
While I have zero interest in the series, I do however hold out hope for the music, since Trek usually inspires composers. But I fear for the worst with synth scores, no matter of well done. I would HOPE CBS understands the musical legacy of Trek and would spring for scores done with live orchestras, but I don't know.....

Sounds like Star Trek: More Voyager.
^^ It does a bit, but I have no problem with that. It sounds good to me, although I was hoping for something more retro and ethereal, to segue into TOS.
I like it. It's both familier enough to follow the old Trek lines, but still fresh.
Whether its just a demo or to be used as a full theme, I just hope they score the show well. Some of Trek's music in the latter years was very.... unmemorable.

As a main theme it would be pretty forgettable. Hopefully it's not. Episodic score-wise, I was personally hoping for much more experimental and synth, rather than the strings of an orchestra.
