Battlestars Bear McCreary To Write Music For Marvels Agents Of SHIELD
And he seems very happy about it
"Readers of my blog know that superhero stories and their scores have had a tremendous impact on my life ever since I was a kid. I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series , Superman , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , Spider-Man and X-Men . In my daydreams, their adventures rumbled with bombastic and soaring orchestral melodies. I always wanted to write music of my own for this genre.
“Now, I have the opportunity to contribute original music to the ever-expanding Marvel universe? And I have a full symphonic orchestra at my disposal every week to do it? And I get to work with the visionary Joss Whedon and his remarkable creative team? Well, suddenly I’m worried that my entire life might actually be a dream, that I might suddenly wake up back in third grade, having dozed off while reading X-Men . If this life is a dream, I’m going to love every minute of it until I wake up.”
Congrats to you, mate!
