The show was a space opera meets comedy farce and my brief was to compose an epic - yet still lighthearted - piano underscore that fit both the intergalactic setting of the show and the specific contexts of each scene.
An extended version of a composition that featured in The Starship Osiris, performed here by Sequoia Sounds. Bossa Nova is the track that accompanies an early scene in which Evans, a bumbling crewmate who isn't taken seriously by his colleagues, attempts with little success to interact with the female crewmates. The scene sets a lighthearted comedic tone for the first half of the show.
