Taking questions for an interview with...

[tharpdevenport]

First in the Trek world I interviewed Jay Chattaway (LINK), then the wonderful Gerald Fried (LINK).

Now I am taking suggested questions for an interview with David Bell.

As with Chattaway, I am extending my normal two week window for questions suggesting, and moving it to a full month.

Any good and/or interesting questions might get used.

(I might make my way to some other Trek folk later...)

Sure i'll bite


When writing pieces of music throughout DS9's "Dominion War" story, did you look to any particular pieces of music, past or present for inspiration?

 

[tharpdevenport]

I'll be turning in the questions on the 18th, so if you got any suggestions, please feel free -- still time.

Composer David Bell interview being done...

Just another reminder I'll be turning the questions in Monday of next week. disturbing lack of fan questions, thus far, on the businest and largest Trek board I know of.

OK, how about these:

Does the overall feel of an episode (more dramatic like VOY "Meld," or more comedic like ENT "Singularity"), affect the music you compose?

Which episode presented the biggest challenge to you?

Which episode would you say is the best distillation of your work as a composer?

 

[tharpdevenport]

Turning in the questions in two hours; day late, I know. Get them in while you can. :-)

Bell's interview should be up in a day or two, for those waiting patiently. :-)

Thanks for doing that--it was a great read and a great interview.

 

[tharpdevenport]

No problem. :-)

That goes in line with my other two Trek composer interviews thus far:

Rest assured I plan to do others eventually (thought likely none for at least half a year). I will of course take questions here like usual.
