Republic City Dispatch

yesitsonlymehere-deactivated201 asked: Did the topic of a possible release of the book 2 soundtrack come up in the podcast?

Perhaps because an ATLA soundtrack is starting to sound like an impossibility, while the Korra: Book 1 soundtrack feels like a gift from a lion turtle, asking Jeremy and Ben about a possible Book 2 soundtrack totally slipped my mind. But I checked back for an update afterward and here’s the sad truth: It’s not in the works because there’s not much of an interest from Nick at this point. Maybe that has to do with sales from the Book 1 soundtrack — I don’t have evidence to back that up — but currently, there are no plans to round up Jeremy’s Book 2 music for an official release. That could change if there’s enough demand from fans, both on Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook/other facets of the Internet (I’m sure listening, sharing, and commenting on an interview with the composer and sound designer doesn’t hurt…) and also supporting the Book 1 album by actually purchasing it. A soundtrack release makes sense if there’s money to be made on a release. That’s a ball in fandom’s court.

For now, we can relive the musical moments both in the show and on this month’s Republic City Dispatch. This episode was really a way of stoking the fire through a discussion of creativity and the potential of musical drama. If you guys love the Korra score as much as we do, make yourselves heard!

In case you missed it, here’s the podcast featuring Jeremy and Ben.
