AMC’s Q&A – Bear McCreary (Composer)
AMC has just released an interview on their blog with Bear McCreary who is the composer of The Walking Dead soundtrack. Find out what he had to say about Comic Con, Battlestar Galactica, and more.
Q: You’re best known for your work on Battlestar Galactica, on which you developed musical themes for different characters and situations. Are you planning something similar for The Walking Dead?
A: It’s interesting. I’d love to give you the answer that you’re looking for, but I’ve found that there’s very little room in The Walking Dead to approach it with character themes. The trick with themes is you need to establish them, so one of the things that I’ve found has been happening is I’ve just been scoring the show, I’ve just been giving it the dramatic arcs that it needs. The characters are all enduring the same thing. It’s a shared experience, so instead of trying to highlight all the subtle differences between them, I’m trying to unify them all together. With the music being so minimal, you really have to rethink what you’re going to do. You gotta make it count.
