30 years ago a whole new quadrant of stories—stories of wonder, the strange, resilience—were opened up to us with the premiere of #StarTrekVoyager!

Voyager is a vital part of the #StarTrek franchise. In 58 video essays, I argue Why Voyager! Check them out.

#Notevember Lush

I adore the George Duning score for “Metamorphosis,” especially the track called “Cochrane Calls.” The lush strings, oboe, and flute are delicious.

DECEMBER is #Time2Trek, exploring time in #StarTrek!

So watch out for a chroniton particle flux of .003 or the remnants of the Temporal Cold War—it’s time to talk about time. (Because, of course, we have the time.)

A peaceful melody plays at the beginning of B'Elanna's dreams (which are actually induced memories)

#Notevember Diegetic Music

The Mozart concert featuring Data in honor of Ambassador Sarek is an example of diegetic music being critical to the plot. The Brahms piece which moved Sarek to tears is one of my favorite pieces of all time because if this moment.

#Notevember A favorite Prodigy Track

“Supernova” pairs the heroism of Hologram Janeway, the grief the crew feels, and the beauty of this found family.

#Notevember A Favorite LDS Track

“The Cerritos” from “Crisis Point” includes a call and response of mid and upper brass lifting the listener into this heroic swell as the Cerritos comes into frame. The trilling of the horn beautifully echoes techniques used by Horner.

I want one of these in my house.
Troi's office on the Enterprise-D was one of the earliest places where the large pastel wall discs were first seen (#StarTrekTNG's "Data's Day"↗️, "Sarek"↙️, "The Loss"↘️). In "Half a Life"↖️, it also appears in the bedroom of Timicin's guest quarters.

Tomorrow evening I'm recording an episode of Make It So with @shelfnerds.bsky.social , we're going to be discussing Star Trek music. Does anyone have any favourite pieces of music heard in Star Trek across the 60 year history? They can be theme tunes, songs, background music, orchestral scores.
