STAR TREK BRIDGE CREW NO SOUND MOVIE

Mariner creates a Lower Decks: The Movie (Credit: CBS)Дespite these challenges, Westlake and his musicians 'rose to the occasion,' and have delivered unique music for each episode of Lower DecksВ that not only 'gives Lower DeckВ its own sonic identity,' but also, as Westlake freely admits, sprinkles in a fair amount of auditory Easter eggs. Mostly because we could move forward because we were an animated TV show. This challenge was compounded by the fact that the debut of Lower DecksВ was 'moved up by about two months,' which Westlake says he thinks is 'because we swapped with DiscoveryВ Season 3 in the schedule.

Like many TV series that have been completed in the COVID-19 era, Westlake reveals that the entiretyВ of the Lower DecksВ score was recorded remotely, with each musician recording their part individually. One was more slow and stately, and we're between that and the one we ended up with, which is more energetic.' I mean, we did go through six or seven themes, which were narrowed down to two. Which is why we added that choir to the main theme. And the more seriously we took the music, the funnier the comedy became. 'It has to be sincere and not too aware of itself. 'There are jokes in the situations the characters are in, but the music has to think it's in a movie or one of the TV shows,' Chris Westlake tellsВ SYFY WIRE. **This story contains mild spoilers for Star Trek: Lower DecksВ Season 1, Episode 9, 'Crisis Point.'**

It's simplyВ a newВ and unique Star TrekВ soundВ that is somehow very old at the same time.

The sound of Lower DecksВ isn't the sound of 'silly' Star Trek. And, if you'd heard the Lower DecksВ main theme before actually seeing the show, there's a chance you might not even know that it was composed for a series that is (mostly) poking fun at Trek.В That said, because this Trek series is specifically smaller in scope than some of its predecessors, Westlake admits he knew the theme couldn't be 'too bombastic.' In other words, when the USS CerritosВ hits that space iceberg in the opening credits of the series, there's no rimshot doubling down on that visual joke.

Just because Star Trek: Lower DecksВ is presented as a comedy, the composer for the series, Chris Westlake,В knew the music couldn't be in on the joke.
