If you’ve listened to pop music at all in the last fifteen years, you’ll know the distinctively spacey, minimalistic aesthetic of Pharrell Williams and his Neptunes production outfit. Hailing from Virginia Beach, Virginia, a region known for its involvement in aerospace engineering and research, Williams was intrigued early on by space exploration, the studies of Carl Sagan, and of course, the Star Trek series that inspired his own label’s name.
In the most recent of a series of interviews conducted by Pharrell called ARTST TLK, Williams sits down with Leonard Nimoy, who played the humanoid character Spock in the original Star Trek series. An intrigued and bright-eyed Williams pegs the sharp-witten Nimoy with questions about developing Spock, his time spent in the army, and a directorial endeavor that may have been well ahead of its time.
