It's more likely than you think.<br /><br />The "Dorking Out Show" Facebook page posted this and confirmed that the composer, Charles-Henri Avelange, posted a link on Twitter mentioning that he had participated in a "bake-off" by CBS to help choose music for DSC. Whike it's entirely possible he's just trying to promote himself for more movie & video game work like he's done in the past, both Dorking Out & I believe that given the timing of the post, it certainly implies he won the prize & the abive is a glimpse into the sonic geography of the show. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dukhat</b> <br /><small>Member # 341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2017,0,10,0,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">January 10, 2017</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:58 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Sounds similar to the Star Trek: Voyager theme. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Guardian 2000</b> <br /><small>Member # 743</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2017,0,11,2,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">January 11, 2017</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:45 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Sounds like a bad CGI sub captained by the guy who beat Jaws and flies helicopters upside down is about to put to sea.<br /><br />It sounds precisely not like, yet is incredibly reminiscent of, the rejected TNG theme from the old soundtrack.

I'd like more of that please. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nim</b> <br /><small>Member # 205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2017,0,23,8,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">January 23, 2017</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:54 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm tired of the elevator music of that era.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well the orchestral scores of DS9/Voy, however clinical and identity-free, were better than the saccarine Christian Country-Rock of ENT.<br /><br />The above theme goes back to the orchestral period from TMP to Voyager, and definitely has a naval/military strain in the last third, marked by the snare drum. Reminded me of "Space: Above and Beyond". Hopefully it will be more gritty and serious than "Star Trek Beyond". <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
