Bear McCreary

I know what you’re thinking…you never heard of this guy. That’s not entirely true. You may not recognize the name, but if you watch television, you have probably encountered his incredible music. Everyone in Hollywood is snapping him up to do the musical scores for their shows. And when you hear the clips below, you’ll understand why. I guarantee you, it’s not like anything you’ve ever heard before. He is a straight up genius, a bonafide composer in a world full of three-note songs. I’m a HUGE Battlestar Galactica fan. But one of the reasons I am is because each episode had me hanging on the edge of my seat. It didn’t take many episodes for me to figure out that aside from the incredible writing and acting, what made it such an incredible show was that haunting, irresistible music that heightened the tension and set the mood for every scene. Most people don’t think about how a musical score affects the way experience a show, but with Bear McCreary, you can’t possibly ignore it.

You wouldn’t think that the ethereal, Asian flavor of his music would work for a television show set in space, but OMG…it’s almost like they created a TV for the sole purpose of having something interesting to watch while you listen to his awesome compositions. I’ve studied music since I was four years old. I played all through high school and went to state competitions. But it wasn’t until I heard Bear McCreary that I was truly sorry that I didn’t follow my first mind and pursue a career in Hollywood performing musical scores for television and movies. I chose a career in computers instead, and I love what I do. But gun to my head, I would’ve given anything to have had a chance to be a part of this project and perform with this guy.
