About the Soundtrack: Veteran video game and film/TV composers Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves (Blazing Angels, The Hobbit) created the original sci-fi orchestral scores for Bethesda Softworks’ titles STAR TREK: Legacy™ (Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows), STAR TREK: Tactical Assault™ (PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and Nintendo DS™ ) and STAR TREK®: Encounters (PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system). All three titles are launch this fall under license from CBS Consumer Products. The STAR TREK franchise, which debuted with the Original Series in 1966, will celebrate its 40th anniversary this fall.

Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves have produced 60-minutes of classic symphonic style music for the highly anticipated next-generation STAR TREK video game, STAR TREK: Legacy, the first ever project to feature all five actors who portrayed the STAR TREK series captains. Developed under the direction and supervision of Bethesda Softworks at the studios of Mad Doc Software, Rednote’s score for Legacy fully captures the grand-scale feel and spirit of the STAR TREK universe.

Parker A. Davis, Legacy Producer at Mad Doc Software, says, “Mad Doc was fortunate enough to recruit the musical talents of Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves to score a completely original soundtrack for Legacy. We’re crafting a game that marries the cinematic appeal of STAR TREK and intensity of starship combat, and Rod and Jason captured that beautifully in their score. We’re thrilled with the results and believe gamers and fans of the series will agree it's very ‘Star Trek’ - very science fiction.”
