Chris Tilton's Fringe - Score discussion (Giacchino and Seiter additional music Season 1)

I had meant to share that as well. I really enjoyed the first one, September's Heart in a Device. It has the same tune as the opening of Mobius Maker, which I love.

It really makes you wonder what kind of musical gold mine Tilton has on his computer.

So Chris Tilton has been posting unreleased cues on Twitter every Friday for a while now.

 

Does anybody have a list of everything he's posted?

 

Better yet, does anyone know the chronological order of which OST tracks each posted cue goes between?

 

Thanks!

I loved Fringe when I was young, specially during the first 3 seasons (S4 and S5 were pretty bad). But I never really cared about Tilton's music, so much so that I never listened to the OSTs.

The worse the show got, the better the music got, somehow

Despite some terrible episodes, I did like the latter seasons more than the early seasons. Wasn’t a fan of the “monster of the week” formula. At least it ended rather nicely despite a lot of wasted time in several episodes of Season 5.

Much like Giacchino on Lost, actually.

Blasphemy!

We just finished S3 over the weekend and moved into S4. I wouldn't say it's bad, but the soft reboot on the show once the timeline is "corrected" is mildly depressing. 

 

Fringe equally balances world building with world abandonment.

I wasn't a fan of the monster of the week episodes as well, but I preferred the story arc on the first 3 seasons. Once Peter is erased from the timeline and the show reboots with an entirely different timeline on S4, it went downhill for me. :( 

 

As for Lost, I really liked Gia's music for the later seasons. S6 is the worst of the show, but it had some amazing scores.

Season 3 is definitely the worst of the show, in my opinion.

 

I’d rank them in order of best to least:

5

6

2

1

4

3

I read online in a couple places that there was also a weekly Fringe Friday from 2011-2012 but I haven't found any record of what any of that music was, or if it's ever been released again.

 

But the modern iteration from 2019-present is completely documented

I remember those! I’ll do some digging and see what I can find.

I have finally collected all cues from Chris Tilton's website including the old ones which he used to share on facebook.

Chris Tilton's music is what got me into Fringe in the first place! I love this show. The soundtracks have all been fantastic. Sadly, one cue I've always wanted has eluded me, granted this one is a Chad Sieter cue, and I had always hoped one day we'd get a version without sfx. I found this rip of said cue years ago, it's loaded with sfx but it's what I've used anytime I wanted to listen to the track without watching the episode. From season 1, episode 5, on Youtube

 

Actually coming to think of it, haven't had a chance to sift through the posts here but what was the exact reason for Tilton replacing Chad halfway through the first season? I've always wondered.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing more Fringe music pop up, Tilton's themes were always so fitting and I can see why they chose to go with him for the rest of the series.

That's the cue that starts when Walter and Astrid release the pigeons.

It's a variation on the end credits theme which is credited to Michael Giacchino on the second season's soundtrack.

 

All I could find on Chad Seiter was his website.

Apart from the first track, everything he showcases there was from the first season's soundtrack.
