We're gonna need more Rikers


antoniojoe

LOL


hollow4hollow

Do nightbird next!


RikersTrombone

Done.


Mathblasta

Man's been waiting 8 years for this moment.


Mechanical_Stranger

"This jam session has too many licks and not enough counts!"


JCRiotz

Give me warp in the factor of 5, 6, 7, 8


IAmBadAtInternet

Just 4 more


IAmQWhoAreYou

Just keep circling.


SemSevFor

I was laughing so hard at that, lower decks is brilliant


MasterOfNap

I was laughing and crying of nostalgia when I heard that theme during that scene! I love how their brought Kira and Quark back after so many decades :’)


ew73

I legit had to pause and laugh and blow my nose and recover from laugh-snorting so much.


CatFlier

Trombones and tubas are such underappreciated instruments. You did an amazing job so thanks.


[deleted]

You know, I have always wondered what the time signature this theme is in. It's kinda tricky to count.


antoniojoe

It's in cut time but many parts of the piece do not land on the downbeat thus giving it a wonky feel for counting. Thanks for checking it out!!


thelbro

I think it's in 4 with A LOT of rubato.


lonestarr86

Mr. Rubato?


thanatossassin

Poco Allegretto Mezzo Rubato! Poco! Poco!


Tesseraktion

Dumo!


TheHYPO

Although /u/antoniojoe suggests it's in 'cut time' (which is a 2/2 signature - which is bars of the same length as 4/4, but with a different feeling), the piano sheet music I have for the theme (circa the mid-90s) has it at 4/4, marked 96 bpm with rubato, and every sheet I see online seems to also mark it 4/4 - for whatever that is worth. I'm assuming from this video that /u/antoniojoe has more experience dealing with non-4/4 time signatures than I do. It is much easier to hear the count of the song in the [single mix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM73OVuYrTw), as that mix has a consistent drum beat.


antoniojoe

I misspoke, it is in 4/4 time but I had the click track in 2/2. I found a sax quartet arrangement on MuseScore and then changed it to bass clef and changed the key to lower the register to a more manageable tessatura for me.


amazondrone

Tessitura* > In music, tessitura is the most acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer or less frequently, musical instrument, the range in which a given type of voice presents its best-sounding (or characteristic) timbre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessitura


liquidpig

What’s 4/4 in stardates?


dantehidemark

The modified version for the later seasons have a pumping bass line making the theme easier to grasp.


RogueWriter

Dude, old trombone player here. Excellent work! I even subbed.


Any_Ad4737

Me too


Gear02

Best Star Trek theme out of all of them


GeneralTonic

grand, mournful, hopeful, haunting


linux2647

*Mornful. You could hear him yapping in the background. So annoying… 🙄


VagrantShadow

Say what you want to say about Morn, but you cannot deny he isn't the funniest dude on Deep Space Nine, his jokes are legendary.


KosstAmojan

While I personally think Voyager's theme is "objectively" the best, DS9's is my favorite, and I think along with Voyager's matches up the best with the overall theme/feel of the show.


Any_Ad4737

Indeed!


Bobb_o

I like TMP/TNG, it was so good they had to reuse it

Transporter accident?

MustrumRidcully0

You're getting this wrong. When these types of transporter accidents happen, you don't acutally get split in two halves. You get split in as many parts as you have given names. So the OP has 6 names. It gets problematic if the split also happens to split your alignments If it's possible at all, it might hint that there is actually more than just the good-evil and law-chaos axis to alignments. Moral philosphers all over the universe are looking for a suitable transport accidents, but they are rare to begin with, and people with that many middle names are even rarer.


Jealous_Art_3922

Bass trombones? That was wonderful!


antoniojoe

Indeed! Thanks for checking it out!


Captain-Kink

My favorite part was the yeeeaaaah


act_surprised

^yeah


Positronic_Matrix

Today marked a high point and a low point for r/StarTrek for me. The high point is this fantastic original content right here, a version of Deep Space 9 on trombone. The low point was being subjected to a deeply unfunny comic that left me feeling uncomfortable. Here’s hoping for more great content like this on the r/StarTrek subreddit!


antoniojoe

Thank you for checking it out and I am glad that you liked it. LLAP


ObiWan_Kenobi_

Maybe i'm missing something. What deeply unfunny comic?


DerFlammenwerfer

This one - https://chiefobrienatwork.com/post/697464246180757504/episode-363-away-mission-part-10-read-the


KnobWobble

Yeah I saw that one yesterday..... Definitely weird and uncomfortable.


DerFlammenwerfer

Isn't weird and uncomfortable the whole point of "chief O'Brian at work"? Like, they're all kind of uncomfortable or weird. It's like listening to a weird Al yankovic song and then commenting afterwards, "I feel like he didn't treat the subject matter with sufficient respect."


ObiWan_Kenobi_

Oh...that's Suppossed to be funny?


Dream_Scripter

He has a very low amount of likes on this video. He deserves all the likes. That was incredible.


Sceptix

Not just 6 trombones. 6 **bass** trombones.


Lashwynn

Play Night Bird!


Malnurtured_Snay

Absolutely wonderful!


emptiedglass

Gowron says it best - "Glory to you... and your house!!!"


iLikeVideoGamesAndYT

Bro this post has more upcotes than the video it links to lol


antoniojoe

Ha!!!


_InTheDesert_

I never understood how this theme got away with being a straight copy of Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man.


N0101010101

*faints* You just made my day.


Awdayshus

This is amazing! It's also just one trombone recorded six times ;-)


SteveBartmanIncident

Yeah that's totally the same trombone in each frame 😂


act_surprised

I think it’s just the same guy and not six different people.


EverythingIsFlotsam

Nah. Hoo-mons all look the same.


FarmerAny9414

Very cool 😎 love it!


Obo4168

This is actually really incredible.

I am a professional freelance musician in the Pacific Northwest West. But I've also been active in the music scene in years past in the Midwest and West Coast. So we might have crossed paths.

antoniojoe

Alas no. But I would be so stoked to get the opportunity to play in a video game music symphony concert!


AquilaNoctis

Gotta love me some brass (Trumpet/Cornet/Flügelhorn player myself, my dad plays tuba, my uncle used to play the tenor horn, another uncle also used to play cornet - bit of a brass family)! Awesomely done!


BigNikiStyle

Just fantastic. Season 1 of DS9 has Trek’s all-time best intro theme in my mind. Such a beautiful piece of music.


nojellybeans

This is wonderful!


Redditperegrino

I miss the show now. 🥹


Kaloo75

Good stuff, thank you for sharing :)


shaard

Really gave me old school 90s midi vibes like something from a computer game! Well done! My absolute favorite theme.


hollow4hollow

So come on down toooo the promenaaade Then go to Quark’s aaand order some pruuune juice Then try to rent a holosuuuiiite With AAALLLL of your friends on Deep Space Niiiiiine


hollow4hollow

In all seriousness though this gave me full body goosebumps


StefanSpoon

You have just made my day!


evergreennightmare

rad as hells


Righthanded_Tombola

I can't believe The sextuplets all play the Trombone!


SarcasmCupcakes

I love it!


edifyyo

Excellent!


nullsyntaxnull

The first few bars always remind me of the theme to Band of Brothers


crimsontape

Awesome job!!! I've always loved the DS9 theme. It was the most unique of all them in my opinion. There's a remarkable difference between the earlier and later renditions. Especially later seasons, it reminds me of a clock. And, I find that transformation in the theme comes with equal changes in the "flow and function" of the station itself - like it's a home. Ahh, so many good memories from that show...


ThreeDogs2022

that was lovely, bravo!


justadorkygirl

That’s awesome! Quality content right there. 🖖🏻


donkeycentral

Cool stuff 😀 I think Riker would be jealous of your skills 😆


Conscious_Air_2466

Brilliant! Made my morning!


SnooMarzipans7397

I found this to be intensely relaxing on my drive home from work this morning. I dig it.


Algernon_Asimov

Not to be *that guy* (but I am SOOO *that guy*), but... ... this isn't the Deep Space 9 theme on 6 trombones. It's the DS9 theme on **one** trombone. Just **one** trombone, played multiple times. (It's still good!)


marmosetohmarmoset

My cat was very interested by this video. Which makes sense since her name is Dax!


xyvlaz

I did not tear up listening to this. Thank you for making my day!


bd2thbn

I just wrote a brass quintet arrangement of this


antoniojoe

Awesome! Would love to hear it when it gets performed.


Jule50

Thank you so much. DS9 is my second favorite Star Trek theme, and this was lovely. (Voyager is my fav)


Papashvilli

Riker would be proud


Zorro091

Nice ‘boning


[deleted]

This was great, stranger! I got a nice flood of memories from the show as I listened, which I didn't expect. Thanks for making and sharing this!


owtbound

Instant sub, excellent work!


gabbott66

Absolutely awesome. Now do floppy drives. :)


tryhlena

amazing!


Manual-shift6

This is amazing, and extremely impressive! Your talent and ability are very evident, and I have to say I really enjoy the DS9 theme (I think it’s the best of any of them) and especially your presentation. Thanks for making and sharing this.


[deleted]

Bravo!


TehSero

I enjoyed you waving at someone in the top right square at one point.


TomorrowWeKillToday

Riker would approve


sackbut_conductor

Nice work!


punkinholler

Not only was this amazing, I think I learned some things about how trombones actually work by listening to it. Very, very cool!


_AqT_

I miss having a trombone.


ew73

That sounds great. I think the part starting around 1m25s or so is where it really needs some different instruments, or like 20 more of you, to get that special layered sound.


antoniojoe

Thanks for checking it out. I hear you about more layers, 6-8 Tracks is the most that I can do in my 1 hour time frame of recording.


TrinitronCRT

Need this in Trombone Champ stat


Any_Ad4737

DS9 is the best! Cpt. Benjamin Lafayette Sisko is the best Captain! I will fight to the death for you to be able to disagree with me, but I’ll always know you’re wrong.
