[Interiew in the "Los Angeles Times", on his score for a short film seen on CBS' coverage of the 1969 Apollo 11 flight] The only sounds that go along with space travel are electronic ones. The Apollo film shows different facets of the flight--blast-off, separation of the stages of the rocket, scenes of the moon at close range, of the astronauts playing games in the ship and of earthrise. [The music] has to carry the film along. It has to echo the sound of the blast-off and even the static you hear on the astronauts' report from space. People are used to hearing things from outer space, not just seeing them. So I used a big, symphonic sound for the blast-off, some jazzy things for the zero-G game of catch, psychedelic music for a section that uses negatives and diffuse colors on shots taken inside the ship, and a pretty melody for the moon. After all, it's still a lovely moon.
