I just got off the phone with the person in charge of the Firefly soundtrack at FOX. She is a Firefly fan and is very supportive of the soundtrack project. However, she says the soundtrack market is "in doldrums" right now, and they have decided not to issue the Firefly score through the conventional CD route. They plan to sell it on the internet instead, through downloads.

The problem is, this project is very low in priority right now. What browncoats can do is email FOX at askfox@foxinc.com to let them know there is a demand for Firefly's music. Please be polite and tell them you want to buy the music. These emails will be collected and used to make a case for releasing the soundtrack to Firefly as soon as possible.

I have heard some of the music that will be on the soundtrack, and I'm telling you that it is a MUST for all Firefly fans. The score stands VERY well on its own and is simply sensational. My interview with Greg Edmonson will be published on a soundtrack website shortly. I'll post a link to FFF.net when it is up.

In the meantime, PLEASE write FOX and let them know we love Firefly and want the music however we can get it.

Thanks everyone who sent in an email. Firefly fans are the best!

I too am very disappointed that they don't plan to issue a CD. But at this point, I am just glad the soundtrack is still going to be made.

Please keep this thread alive for a day or two longer, so that as many browncoats as possible can read it and send in an email. I told them that there is a market and demand for the soundtrack, and that Firefly fans are making their own CD's from the DVDs. They need to hear from more than just one person that it's true.

I really wish you can hear this proposed soundtrack. I told Greg Edmonson that I had 2 recurring thoughts as I listened to it.

1) Someone, PLEASE give this man a movie to score. (Preferably a movie named Firefly.)
2) It is a CRIME that I am the only one hearing it. All browncoats and film music fans need to hear this.

So you see, I have become emotionally attached to the soundtrack and to seeing it happen as soon as possible. Thanks again for your help.

You would think with all the DVD sales a soundtrack might be worth Fox's time ... perhaps a limited run at first .. I know it costs bucks to make the CDs, etc.

I used pcm output in mplayer (a multimedia player designed for Unix, but I believe there's a Windows version. http://mplayerhq.hu It's sort of tricky to install though.)

Searching for "dvd audio ripper" on google should give you programs for Windows/Mac. I don't have any experience with them though.

I am talking to FOX's legal department now about permission for even a few 30 second clips to put on the interview. Ideally, they want you to pay for a performance license from ASCAP/BMI. I don't know how radio shows do it, but if you can get legal permission, then they might even send you a CD you can use so you don't have to lift it off the DVD.

Hi, UK fan here, this might sound odd, but there is a radio station here called Classic FM, that basically plays classical music, however in recent years they have been playing more and more movie soundtracks, such as Lord of the Rings, and even some other 'classic' style music. I think the Firefly soundtrack would also sit very comfortably on such a radio station if it was heard.

I've also sent an email to Fox and posted the first post from this thread on some other sites I know of where people are fans of the show and in some of the Firefly yahoo groups in order to get more people mailing!!

I sent off an e-mail STRONGLY HINTING that I would prefer a CD release over buy'n'burn. I'm not satisfied until I tear off the plastic wrap and crack open a fresh jewel case.

Ah...plastic wrap. One of life's sweet, yet oft overlooked pleasures.

ANYway, one thing I thought of is that if anybody else is going to be making a pitch for CDs over downloads is to mention how much you'd love to PREORDER something like a Firefly soundtrack. Seriously, companies LOVE preorders. They love them to bits. Saying you'll buy a Firefly soundtrack when it gets made is good, but saying you'll put money up-front for it before the master disc has even been burned is better in certain corporate eyes.

Think how impressive it'd be for the first batch of not-even-made-yet CDs to sell out in, let's say, a week. Or less. It might send a message that there's an audience out here willing to front the money for stuff like this, and that the risks they (Fox or whoever) may take when it comes to this aren't really that risky after all.

Or maybe not. Who knows? But it's something to think about at any rate.

Thank you!

You all might be interested in reading the interview with Greg Edmonson, the composer of Firefly, now available online.

The article is not just about the music, but has lots of scoops about the making of the show.

http://www.tracksounds.com/specialfeatures/Interviews/interview_greg_e
dmonson.htm

Here are some highlights:

Quote:
Joss' original vision was of a single guy just sitting on the front porch just playing guitar and singing the song. But FOX always thought of this as a more straight ahead action show...

That is why, if you'll notice, anytime we had a shot of the Serenity in space, it is always guitar and/or fiddle, never horn. This was the antithesis of Star Trek. Does the horn work? Absolutely. But Joss wasn't remaking Star Trek....

The very last piece of music I wrote for this show was when Inara tells Mal she's leaving in the Heart of Gold. And that scene was heart wrenching to me, knowing that there would not be another....

And a lot more!

I sent an email as well, also asking for a cd release. Since the blaster worm, I have no sound driver on my computer (and therefore, no sound) AND it killed my cd burner as well. If they put it out there to download, I could do it, but it would sit on my computer with no way for me to access it.

This is a much better strategy than ripping tracks. We should be doing this legally, since stealing the music just hurts our case. I know it's only a small thing, but I say, hold off on the file sharing until Fox renounces its tentative plans to release the music. Then we can do ape-wild with ripping and downloading if they /do/ decide not to.

But here's a new plan: why not call radio stations asking for the music, all innocent-like? Sure, one person does it, they think you're crazy. And if two of you do it (*in harmony*) they'll think you're queer. But if three do it...can you imagine, /three/ people calling up a radio station and requesting the theme song or other music from the show? They'll think it's a movement. And that's what it is--the "I want a Firefly CD" movement in three-part harmony.

Message: You can get anything you want.

(Seriously, though--the Beatles got their first chance on a US radio station because some girl in MD called up her local DJ. And the /radio station/ went to the record company to get it and ended up importing one from the UK when none was available here.)

Calling the radio stations sounds like a good plan. One question though, besides the Firefly Theme (Ballad of Serenity), how would we ask for the other songs? Like the one at the end of "The Message"? There's no titles to the other songs.

SERENITYNOW

Monday, February 16, 2004 4:45 AM

There's no reason to be too specific. Just GUSH. DJs love passion. BE the diehard call-in guy.

I think, in addition to calling up hip classical radio stations or college campus stations for the soundtrack pieces, we could call regular Top 40 stations for the theme song--country stations could play it, too, and so could those new bluegrass/folk programs that have started up in recent years. "The Ballad of Jayne Cobb" would be right up their alley, too

Me--I'm emailing Late Junction ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/world/latejunction.shtml), the laid-back world music show (you can hear it online and it is the best thing ever), which plays movie soundtracks, among other things. If you want to email them (politely, since we don't want to alienate them), they're at late.junction@bbc.co.uk. Just innocently ask to hear something from the show, and if they email you back saying they haven't heard of it, tell them how great it is.

I haven't heard anything, unfortunately. Last time I talked to someone at FOX, the lady just said that nothing has changed. She said they hadn't routed the emails we sent to her office, but that it didn't matter anyway. They are committed to releasing the soundtrack. I asked her again if there is anything fans can do to help expedite the release, and she said no.

This was vastly different from the first time I talked to her, when she encouraged me to tell fans to send emails and that they would definitely count. So I am confused. I have no idea why she would change her tune that way.

A bump of sorts here: anyone hear anything new about a soundtrack cd? Maybe someone somewhere can see if maybe a _double_ cd with the film and the series music could be released when the time comes?

Greetings:

Sent my request in and perhaps everyone here can do something that'll spark alittle heat. NPR usually runs a local request day. If everyone started hitting the NPR stations over a month's time, it might generate more interest in a soundtrack release. When organizations ask about a project, a studio usually perks up it's ears.
Didn't think to ask for a 'double' CD set...sigh. But did suggest that they do like Paramount has done and add some extra features like a VCD section.
The music can stand on it's own and would play on anything from classical to country (Ballard of Serenity) to perhaps top 40. Know that it would work on satelite radio. Counting down the days till the release.
If Scifi releases BSG, wouldn't Fox want something to compete, especially since they know they have a loyal fan base???

Can't you use some program that converts files ?

Well, you can convert between all these formats. Even if it's DRM-protected you just burn a CD and then there's no DRM. Re-import however you want. But if those WMA files to have Microsoft's DRM, you can't use them on Mac. Whereas iTunes is universal for Mac and PC alike.

Also, with a conversion you either get a bigger file or slightly lower quality. (Depends on your settings.) That's OK, but for the same money it's nice not to have to compromise.

Of all the soundtracks in the 'verse, I've been looking forward to this one the most. Breaks the heart to think they wouldn't put it out as a CD. Not everybody is getting their music from the Internet, after all. There are still us old-fangled types who like to have the acutal item in our hot little hands, along with the unique graphics and not so overly published images.

I don't think they quite get what an experience a soundtrack can be.

Thank you for your kindness. And as I found very quickly, it wasn't a trudge at all.. it was more like a very exciting adventure. Firefly has become my favorite television series of all time, and I just love the soundtrack.

I really, REALLY hope they release it on CD, or at least release the Serenity soundtrack on CD.

OK, sent my request in to Fox for the Firefly soundtrack. Told them all I really buy is soundtracks (which is true, actually. My last cd purchases were the Star Wars ep3 and HBO's "Carnivale" soundtracks). Now all that's left to do is cross my fingers and try to get everyone else out there to send a quick email to the link above asking for one also! So hop to it!

To: askfox@foxinc.com
Subject: Firefly Soundtrack

Please consider releasing the Firefly Soundtrack as an actual CD. Trust me, it will do just as well as the DVD sales have, particularly as the movie Serenity gets closer to release date. You know how well the DVD sales did, and are as a matter of fact still doing. Now is the time to cash in on all the Firefly fans who are just beside themselves waiting for this new movie, with no Firefly merchandise except the DVDs currently on the market. The music in the Firefly series was a HUGE, integral part of what made the series so special. This is not a product that only those who listen to movie soundtracks are going to buy. This is a product that all Firefly fans are going to want, particularly if you take the time just to add a couple of small extras, such as a comment from Joss and composer Greg Edmonson in the liner booklet.

Sincerely,

Brandon Klassen.

Please consider releasing the Firefly Soundtrack as an actual CD. Trust me, it will do just as well as the DVD sales have, particularly as the movie Serenity gets closer to release date. You know how well the DVD sales did, and are as a matter of fact still doing. Now is the time to cash in on all the Firefly fans who are just beside themselves waiting for this new movie, with no Firefly merchandise except the DVDs currently on the market. The music in the Firefly series was a HUGE, integral part of what made the series so special. This is not a product that only those who listen to movie soundtracks are going to buy. This is a product that all Firefly fans are going to want, particularly if you take the time just to add a couple of small extras, such as a comment from Joss and composer Greg Edmonson in the liner booklet.

Sincerely,

Brandon Klassen.

This is wordier than I would have put it, but not bad. Mostly I think the producers are more about numbers than reasons why, but this is very well written.

Me, I'm planning to write again because I'm still listening to "Nickel Creek" and pretending they had some hand in the soundtrack. Their blue-grass sound isn't exactly Firefly, per-se, but similar enough to put it firmly in my mind when I hear it. I love these kids, but it's not the same as having the music that coincides with Serenity's first appearance in the film.

And if that counts as a spoiler SO BE IT!

Off to submit my plea one more time.

I have emailed Fox and put my ha'penny's worth in. asked for soundtrack to both movie and series.
I agree with Nathan, I find myself putting in the show just for the music.
