BSG's Bear McCreary Scores Dark Void
Bear McCreary, the man behind the music of Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been tapped to score Capcom's upcoming third-person action game, Dark Void.
While we might not expect to hear a phenom like McCreary's wonderful, polyglot reinterpretation of "All Along the Watchtower," I can't believe I'm the only one who's imagined engaging in some intense gaming action while McCreary's space drums punctuate the staccato pacing of, say, a Viper fight or Cylon raid. Or the gaming equivalent thereof, anyway.
"When I got the call from Capcom to work on the music for Dark Void, I jumped at the chance to do it, considering my love for Capcom games." said McCreary. "I have been looking for the opportunity to compose a game score for a long time, but I've been waiting for the right one. Dark Void's epic story and unique gameplay drew me in immediately and I have had a lot of fun working on the project."
Bring it on, Bear. Look for Dark Void on PS3, Xbx 360 and PC later this year. Meanwhile, if you haven't been exposed to this composer, jump on the Bear bandwagon and give the BSG Season 3 soundtrack a try.
