Geekery: Data Gets His Groove Back
The latest track from Pogo is an awesome tribute to Star Trek: TNG.
Pogo aka Nick Bertke remixes moments and lines from movies, tv shows, and video games into his own original, atmospheric music. He’s remixed classic Disney movies, Harry Potter, Borderlands, and Pulp Fiction (nsfw).
In this tribute to Star Trek: The Next Generation he uses Picard’s log numbers, as well as his renditions of Shakespeare and La bohéme. The track also includes samples of the Klingon Victory Song.
Temba, his arms wide! In Tamarian this signifies the giving of a gift, first heard in the excellent episode Darmok. Data & Picard is my tribute to one of the greatest TV series of all time. It is an original track featuring the voices of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner), accompanied by a music video I shot entirely in my living room with a green screen and lights.
The track opens with the Klingon Victory Song, followed by a remix of Data singing Che Gelida Manina in the episode ‘In Theory’. This episode was the first ever to be directed by Patrick Stewart and I didn’t realize this until after the track was finished.
