Bear McCreary On Composing Human Target

Not all composers have a large fan following, but fans of Battle Star Galactica or Sarah Connor Chronicles will know the name Bear McCreary. Bryan Reesman Got an opportunity to steal McCreary away from his fans at Comic Con and ask him some questions about his two new upcoming shows, NBC's Trama and Fox's Human Target.
The BSG family seems pretty close knit. Do you think you will all stay in touch?

Absolutely, we will all stay in touch. We try to get together as often as possible. And the transition to post-BSG life was made a little easier because Galactica cast and crew are involved in nearly every project I'm working on. The Human Target pilot featured Tricia Helfer and Donnelly Rhodes,Trauma is directed by [Caprica producer] Jeff Reiner, and of course Caprica itself is written, produced and directed by many of the same people [from BSG]. So, I still get to work with some of them on a regular basis, which helps.

What are you learning working on Trauma? How does it compare with your other new network series Human Target?
The two series are apples and oranges. Trauma is written for a sweaty and dirty rhythm section and has a very rock and roll sensibility. Human Target, on the other hand, is an orchestral series, and bursts out of the gate with the kind of polished and bombastic orchestral score that people generally don't associate with my name.
