- Craig Huxley and The Blaster Beam. Before our session to record Craig playing on my music for Star Trek Online: Ascension, Craig shares the history of his instrument, demonstrates how it works, plays some licks from Star Trek The Motion Picture and we talk through some of my music. If you are a fan of Star Trek this is an amazing piece of ongoing history. If you are a fan of unusual and lesser known musical instruments then this is for you too! Enjoy and thanks to Craig and Fiona!!

So it wasnt Vger that made that sound,it was the ginger kid from that star trek TOS series! learning something new everyday!
He also wrote and performed the synthesizer accompaniment for the Genesis Project scene in Star Trek II.
Great to finally see how this element of my favorite score was created!
Huxley also wrote and performed the synthesizer accompaniment for the Genesis Project scene in “Star Trek II” and played the synthesizers for David Shire’s score for “2010.”
The sound at 1:08 is one of my favorites. And there are many great sounds.
When I heard the Vger sounds in the movie - very cool on the big screen - I guess at the time I just assumed it was some kind of synth. I just happened to watch And The Children Shall Lead tonight and just started exploring and clicking links and here I am!
I remember before TMP came out, reading an interview with Seymour Duncan. They hired him to make pickups for this thing. When I heard it in the movie I thought "that must be the thing Duncan was talking about".
4:43 Sulu: "It's closing up..."
wow , wooooooooooooooooooooooowblaster beam , wow sounds very neat
Who needs computers with guys like these 2!
In And The Children Shall Lead, the name credited as "Tommy" is Craig Hundley. Is this the same person as Craig Huxley? Star Trek did so much more for so many more than just what we saw/see on screen. And still going decade after decade, generation after generation. And that blaster beam, still as vibrant and firm, over half a century later, as its first performance. Bet the actors wish they'd fared as well. Well, that is, everyone except The Kirk. He's still going into space so, yay for that!
Yes. That is Craig Hundley. He acted in both "The Children Shall Lead" as "Tommy Starnes" and in "The Wrath of Khan" as "Ens. Peter Kirk," Captain Kirk's ill-fated nephew.
So, he was part of both the orchestral score and of the sound effects team in The Motion Picture and others.
@@TurtleFL, no, you are thinking of Scotty's nephew, Peter Preston, in ST II.
Craig's role as Kirk's nephew was in the TV episode, "Operation Annihilate!" (as Peter Kirk). Craig's connection to ST II was in doing the music that enhances Carol Marcus's "Genesis Presentation" film.
This is so incredibly amazing
So the composer here, he obviously also did the AOY music specifically the galleleo 7 tracks cause that motif is referenced again in the new tracks. I think he was the perfect choice because when Goldsmith did his score for TMP he referenced TOS stuff, largely the fanfare of course) but also references making the TMP soundtrack like an evolved form of the TOS music.
Obviously the guys at Continues thought the same thing as their score while being largely TOS started adding TMP elements in the last few episodes.
I'd like to actually get a definitive credits list for all the music in the game so I can check out their other work as well. Sans special tracks that are short or are cross-faded multiples of existing tracks.
Hey Matt - I’m the composer on STO , I posted this and wrote the music with the Blaster Beam for AOY. I have more info on it on my Instagram and lots of recent STO music on my SoundCloud! Thanks for your comments and for noticing the music!
@@KevinMantheiMusic Thank you for replying.
I am not sure how one can notice details about all kinds of things but fail to notice that the video isn't on the STO channel but yours. Sorry for seeming to barge into your place with a "well this guy (you) sure does this and that"..
BUT I DID NOTICE a significant uptick in the sheer quality of music since AOY through DS9, terran, V'Ger/The Other. Even the STO interpretation of Discovery music I think has that slight edge over at least the first two seasons of the actual show's score.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Cryptic classics as well. The various ST Mission 1-3, Light Explore 1-6, Borg Invasion Zone ambient, the FIRST sto track with the blaster beam but these have been next level.
BTW, did you get to try your hand at the beam? If I was gonna learn to play something it would be that fantasticly impratical but ridiculously awesome creation of his.
@@mattatobin thanks. Yes the last 3-4 years they have had me do a lot of music - the first years after the initial release I didn’t do much new music. I wish I could have played the blaster beam but I was to shy to ask! I’ll mention your comments to the audio director.
@@KevinMantheiMusic My prefered loop atm is S27 Merge 12.5sec (which is 45 seconds lol), STO V'Ger Explore 1 Full Mix, 2 Full Mix, Merge, Alt Mix 1, Alt Mix 2, Merge and repeat with a 5 second crossfade, Winamp EQ Full Bass and Treble (actually recreated for Equalizer APO), and an 11,000mhz plate preset on tal reverb II with my now, damn, nearly 20 year old THX Certified Logitech 2.1 speakers. Sounds amazing.
Best music for blasting Assimilated Snowmen!
@@mattatobin send me your mix! Kevinmantheimusic@gmail.com if you are willing.
TMP is my all-time favorite Goldsmith score, and "blaster beam" is so freaking cool!!! :)
This thing is freaking wicked. It should be played through a modular synthesizer like the ARP 2600 as the basic waveform.
absolute amazing sound
Brilliant sounds!
LOVE IT!
I want one. Heck, give me instructions on how to build one, and I'll have a project to do!
The same sound is used for the sonic charges Star Wars
03:45 Breaking Bad intro
This is amazing
Just as V'Ger's origins was Voyager 6,
The Blaster Beam's origins was a Dobro.😂
Vger signals the creator
I thought his last name was 'Hundley"...
He went by both
@@davidarnold1225 Must've been kiting checks at the time...
