"What is the essence of Mr. Spock's character? He's not quite human, but yet there's a human quality to him. So what if I wrote a fairly tender theme, but give it to an instrument that could not possibly play romantic intent. A bass guitar."
RIP Gerald Fried, a marvelous composer who sent the template for STAR TREK with smarts and instinct.

An iconic, hardworking, and prolific film and TV artist of the 1950s-80s, and a long, rewarding and full life.
Fried’s scores are consistently expressive and fresh. Filled with joy and exuberance, even as they’re often melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically complex. Plaintive and soaring woodwinds, aggressive percussion, and, especially in his work for Gilligan’s Island and The Man From UNCLE, a gleeful embrace of absurdity.
