SEASON 1:

Short-lives series from 2002. So short that were only eleven episodes, and the last four didn't even air originally.

If you are a fan of his work on "The X-Files" and "MillenniuM", this is exactly like his work on both shows.

Pilot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDJdGQ5xygI

Highlights:

0:07 in. A cue that easily could have come out of "MillenniuM".^

2:01 in.

5:17 in.^

8:46 in.

11:16 in.^

15:15 in. Another cue that easily could have come out of "MillenniuM".^

21:55 in. Yet another cue that easily could have come out of "MillenniuM".^

31:30 in.^

Continuing SEASON 1:

"Grievous Angels"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPaajGEH_JA

Highlights:

0:37 in. Sounds like it could have come out of "Pasadena".

2:47 in.

4:44 in.^

7:21 in. Could have come out of "The X-Files".^

12:56 in.

15:26 in.^

23:30 in.^

27:33 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^

39:05 in.^

5:17 in: the forgettable and annoying opening credits theme by Mark Snow.

"Fidelity"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2YkTLcXDsg

Highlights:

19:24 in. The first real score cue of the episode, what little was before it amounted to moody sound design.^

26:05 in.^

30:10 in.^

31:40 in.^

33:55 in.^

38:25 in. Joining a cue already in progress. On a set of scoring, I'd begin the cue here.^

40:07 in.^

"Death comes slow on a cold and lonely night."

"Blind Witness"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZt0M5Z3dkA

Highlights:

8:23 in.^

13:47 in.^

17:36 in. Almost seven minutes long. A perfect example of how Snow went above and beyond for a lack-luster project.^

27:57 in.^

30:55 in.^

32:11 in. And the cue after the commercial break. Almost ten minutes for both cues.^

Some fine work from Snow in this episode score.

This is the second time in just five episodes the lead has done the TV Sin of catching their full body weight at the last second when going over an edge. Maybe for his next trick he'll fall two or three stories and mess up his hair and maybe scrape a knee.

If you're a fan of Snow's melancholy piano work with strings and other X-palette sounds, this episode score should be right up your alley. Like I said in the "Ghost Whisperer" thread: "Mark Snow is a melancholy piano-cue generating machine."
("Ghost Whisperer" thread: https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=136391&forumID=1&archive=0 )

This was an interesting plot I don't think I've seen in another series. Also very sad.

(NtM: 5:53 in: possible composer credit use)

"Simon Redux"

NOTE: This load is missing about ten or so minutes and jumps around inside the episode.

(NtM: 22:50)

So, imagine this phone conversation...
Actor: "Hi, mom."
Mom: "Hi, son. How's it going?"
Actor: "Well, mom, I finally got that acting break. I'm going to be a guest star in an episode of a new TV series that looks very promising."
Mom: "Oh, how nice honey. What are you going to play?"
Actor: "A violent psycho who attacked, raped, and murdered a woman in a bathroom."

A few months later...
Actor: "Mom, remember that acting gig I got?"
Mom: "Yes, unfortunately honey."
Actor: "It's not going to air."

"Seeking Asylum" (final episode)

31:50 in.^

39:29 in.^

And that was that. The show was on the now defunct UPN network and got low ratings. It's was well done, though it could have been written better and had more meat to it. If it had gotten both those, a show like this could have gone at least two seasons.

ADDITIONAL, UNCREDITED, STOCK MUSIC COMPOSERS:

Nothing found on BMI or ASCAP. Too many projects by the same name for me to be sure, so I've skipped it.

There has, of course, been no release of the scoring from the series.
