L'impact des changements technologiques sur le travail de Paul Baillargeon dans la série Star Trek
Canadian composer Paul Baillargeon wrote the music for more than forty television shows for the Star Trek series, now translated and broadcasted around the world. Star Trek was one of the last television series produced by a complete symphonic orchestra when Paul Baillargeon started using computers and digital samples, thereby replacing those musicians that were perpetuating Hollywood’s acoustical tradition. Not only do these tools affect the music of Paul Baillargeon, they also transform his work among the postproduction team of the popular television series. This close look at how musical technology influences composition and music production for that particular composer is part of a vast context in which technological progress has transformed our cultural and social fields for the past two decades.
