Read the interview with Greg Edmonson, the composer of the beautiful music heard on Firefly. The article is not just about the music, but has lots of scoops about the making of the show.

Here are some highlights:

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 certainly hope they higher Edmonson to do the movie score. He did a - words don't describe it - an amazing job with the show's score.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Thanks. Write FOX at askfox@foxinc.com! They are collecting emails from people who want the soundtrack to make a case to release it soon.

I love the fact, that like all of us here, none of them are 'over' the show yet either- Says a lot for the show, I think-

I had the same thought SP. It seems like this show touched everyone involved with it and just won't let go.

Thank you. Everyone involved worked very hard to get this interview up. Special thanks go to browncoats here at FFF.net, Greg Edmonson, and Tracksounds. The editor of Tracksounds had never heard of Firefly, but put up the interview anyway. He paid for increased bandwidth for his site to accommodate the "droves" of Firefly fans I told him would be flocking over to read it. So help spread the word, because I don't see very much flocking yet.

The interview was really beautiful. To see how much even the people behind the scenes cared... If some F-word executive came over to me and asked "Aren't you over this yet?" I think I'd lose it. Thank you all for all your posts. Keep flying, keep writing.
Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't coming back
