| A classically trained composer and multiple-award recipient, '''Bear McCreary''' is the mastermind behind the music of the [[Re-imagined Series]].
| |
| | |
| McCreary's work is available in the [[Soundtrack (Season 1)|Season 1]], [[Soundtrack (Season 2)|Season 2]], [[Soundtrack (Season 3)|Season 3]] and [[Soundtrack (Season 4)|Season 4]] soundtracks to the hit SF series. Having composed music since he was just 6 years old, and being a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music, McCreary has a knack for creating classical pieces, as well as quirky, off-beat melodies.
| |
| | |
| McCreary worked on the [[Miniseries]] as an additional composer with soundtrack composer [[Richard Gibbs]], and collaborated with Gibbs on the soundtracks for season 1 episodes 2 & 3, "[[Water]]" & "[[Bastille Day]]", respectively. Gibbs opted not to commit to the regular series production, citing schedule conflicts and his desire to devote more time to scoring theatrical films. As a result, McCreary alone scored "[[33]]" (the first episode aired) and stayed on as soundtrack composer from then on.

| The piano-playing character [[Dreilide Thrace|Slick]] in the [[Season 4 (2008-09)|Season 4]] episode "[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]" was loosely based on McCreary.<ref>http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2008/06/sepinwall_on_tv_michael_giacch.html</ref> He also made an uncredited appearance as a patron of [[Joe's bar]] in the episode "[[Deadlock]]".
| |
| | |
| McCreary has also scored SyFy's ''[[w:Eureka (TV series)|Eureka]]'' and FOX's ''[[w:Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles|Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', based on the Terminator movies. In addition, he will be scoring the upcoming prequel series ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''. When not working on television, McCreary also composes soundtracks for independent movies.
