STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS, Volume 1 Score By Chris Westlake Released by Lakeshore Records

The STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS Volume 1 Original Series Soundtrack features music from the first and second seasons of the Paramount+ series. The 53-track album features an epic orchestrated original score by composer Chris Westlake (CASTLE ROCK, BEFORE WE GO, TRANSIT, SMALL TOWN CRIMES). The show is developed by Mike McMahan (RICK AND MORTY); Westlake previously collaborated with McMahan on Hulu’s animated series SOLAR OPPOSITES.

Season 1 was recorded entirely in quarantine, with 56 musicians recording their parts separately from their homes and apartments. Season 2 was recorded on the Streisand Scoring Stage and the Eastwood Scoring Stage in Los Angeles. 

The second season of STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS premiered August 12 and is currently streaming on Paramount+. The soundtrack is available from these links.
