With some thematic exceptions, most of the music Chris composes
for us each week is unique, and tailored for that episode. So yes,
it's all mainly new.

Re: the coat of welcoming...here's a little tidbit...we had to
make up an entire alphabet for most of our major races (and I've been
gradually building up a dictionary here and there for languages). So
they came and asked if they could embroider something in Minbari on the
shirt Vir's wearing when he comes back. I said sure. Did I have
anything in mind? No, not really.

So I'm on the set that day, and I see the embroidered shirt, and
I ask what these five letters spell, since I don't offhand read Minbari
yet. He looked up at me and smiled. "It spells out ALOHA."

We have a very demented crew.
