    Genius? No. Very talented? Yeah.

    Also, I think Season 1 is the weakest (plus it has some of Gibbs' music for about half the season if memory serves). Wait until you hear seasons 2, 3 and 4 - the latter two being my favourite, even though season 2 has my single favourite cue from Battlestar (Prelude to War).

    Ah dammit. He got sacked for season 2 of Human Target. Hmm, budget cuts, what to drop... music! It's a shame that the new management team is taking a whole new direction, because music was one of the key roles in the first season.


    ow, that's sad
    then again, if people don't know a thing of music, it's better Bear is around people who do.
    Come on Bear, do your best with The Walking Dead punk
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  3. I thought you all might enjoy this article (with an itnerview) on the scoring of "Human Target":

    (composer Tim Jones took over for season two, by the way, which starts -- according to IMDB -- tomorrow)

    You're welcome Bregt ;o)), glad you liked it. Hope to do many more interviews! On top of my list John Williams but I think that won't ever happen, but one can still dream.
  8. Tim, will listen to it later. Busy enjoying Troy right now. punk

    Tim,

    Never stop dreaming. Really, just put the question out there. Try to get the guy's contact details and ask him for 15 minutes of his time. You would be surprised how easily he might accept.
    I would say: "Go for it."

    Troy rejected, such a magnificent score.

  12. 'The Walking Dead' is being show tonight in the US if I'm not mistaken. Can a US-based Maintitles member report back on this?

    The first episode is really good. Although the zombie based films are becoming kinda tiresome, I hope Darabont delivers a good series. The first episode is encouraging.

    This was already mentioned in a PR topic by cinemediapromo, but I don't think many saw it, so here we go again:

    Bear worked on a little Youtube animation, "How the Nerd Stole Christmas." The music is a neat chip-jazz-orchestral combo that quotes famous video game scores and Christmas tunes. Annnd Bear put a free suite of the music up for download on his blog:

    Cool New Piano Solo Folio Showcases Noted Composer Bear McCreary

    (MILWAUKEE) - Variety called composer Bear McCreary's score for Battlestar Galactica - the award-winning series on the SyFy channel from 2004-2009 - "the most innovative music on TV today," and NPR said it "fits the action so perfectly, it's almost devastating: (it's) a sci-fi score like no other." Hal Leonard Corporation is proud to publish the first-ever songbook featuring the music from the series.

    McCreary himself was heavily involved in the creation of this special collection, personally translating his acclaimed, world music-infused orchestral score into fantastic piano solo arrangements. The intermediate to advanced-level songbook contains 19 selections in all, and as a bonus, also simplified versions of "Roslin and Adama" and "Wander My Friends." There is a note from the Emmy-nominated McCreary, as well as a biography.

    The music from Battlestar Galactica has a rabid following. No fewer than six soundtrack albums have been released to date, all selling well and enthusiastically praised by critics. There have also been several live concerts featuring the music. In 2008, more than 1,000 fans attended two sold-out shows at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, with some fans flying in from as far as England and Australia. Last summer, McCreary conducted the world premiere performance of the Battlestar Galactica Symphony, as part of the renowned Fimucite Film Music Festival in Tenerife, Spain. A ballet based on McCreary's scores for the series premiered in 2009, performed by the dancers of the Theaterhagen in Hagen, Germany.

    McCreary comments on the Hal Leonard Battlestar Galactica songbook, "At last, fans can now be a part of the musical process themselves and experience the score as I first did: with fingertips touching the ivories."

    A must for the show's multitude of fans, the Battlestar Galactica Piano Solo folio (HL00313530, ISBN 978-1-61780-367-3) retails for $16.99 and is available at music stores nationwide, or through Music Dispatch
    (www.musicdispatch.com).

    Still no sign of the Caprica series score?

    I can´t wait for that track here, the last 4:30 minutes of the series.

    (Do I NEED to emphasize that massive spoilers await anyone who clicks?)

    Looks like the show had some good things going for it, as always Bear's music being one of them. I always meant to check it out, but I figured after 4 years of BSG, it was time to move on to other production teams and worlds. (I tried LOST, which didn't work out for me... now going through THE WEST WING, more my sort of thing.)
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  22. The first CD contained music from the pilot only; Bear definitely wants to do a second CD with music from the rest of the series, but now that Caprica has been cancelled, I´m not sure when this will be happening, if at all. He talked a lot about the possible second CD at his blog, but I haven´t heard anything new for months now. I thought maybe some of the guys here have better connections to labels and stuff and might probably be able to tell whether something´s going on or not.

    shocked Even if Caprica now is closed down; Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome is coming up later this year. They GOTTA keep Bear attached.

  24. I can´t think of any good reason to do this without him.
  25. I was listening to "Apocalypse" as heard on the Battlestar Galactica: The Plan CD and came across a video of the live version.

    Nice! cool
