Know Thy Enemy Sneak Peak:

Captain Ahab – the musicians behind the robotic love song Zoe Graystone was dancing to in Friday’s episode, Gravedancing – has decided to release it to download for free! Get “Was Love” at their bandcamp.com site.

For more information on how that song and others from Gravedancing came to be, check out Bear McCreary’s blog. He has a fascinating look at how the themes of Caprica are developed along with clips of the songs as he describes them to listen to. One highlight is the song from the radio in Sam Adama’s car and the eerie way that the instruments from Caprica were blended in to underscore Amanda Graystone’s climbing dread.

Examiner.com interviewed Bear McCreary, composer for Caprica, recently about his current projects. In the interview they talk about the differences between making a soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica and Caprica, how Bear almost wasn’t chosen to work on Caprica, and his compositional process.

McCreary spoke of relief when given the breadth of how Caprica should be scored:

“Caprica was like a breath of fresh air. I got a small chamber-sized orchestra together, and I was able to fall back on just writing, technique, and ideas, and the spectacle of the score wasn’t part of it.”

If you’ll be near Burbank, CA this Sunday (5/31), stop by Dark Delicacies to pick up an advanced copy of the Caprica Soundtrack and get it signed by composer Bear McCreary. He will also be signing Battlestar Galactica Soundtracks. More info can be found on Bear McCreary’s Blog. The Caprica Soundtrack will be released to the general public in the US on June 16th. Preorders are being taken at Amazon.com.

Amazon.com has put up a preorder page for the Caprica soundtrack. It will be released 6/16/09 under La-La Land Records. The Caprica soundtrack can be found to preorder in The Caprica Times Amazon Store along with the Caprica DVD and other Caprica related items.

In composer Bear McCreary’s blog he mentions that he’ll be posting about Caprica soon.

Mo Ryan of The Chicago Tribune has a short but sweet review of the Caprica DVD along with links to her previous interviews with the producers and cast.

In Bear McCreary’s Blog (Composer for Caprica) he recently posted that the Caprica Soundtrack will be released in stores in June and will be available from the label’s website in May.

At the end of Caprica City’s interview with Bear McCreary he speaks in more length about the music of Caprica and how it arised. An excerpt:

The score to “Caprica” in general is simpler, much more western. It’s much more classical. I think I wanted to do something different and ultimately I was faced with this question, what is different than “Battlestar Galactica”?

Bear McCreary recently made an announcement about the release of the Caprica TV Series Soundtrack:

“To help tide you all over, I am pleased to announce that La La Land Records will release my soundtrack to Caprica in a few weeks, basically concurrent with the DVD release. I’ll have official details up here on the blog as soon as they become available.”
