THE EPISODE:

Join us on the power of sound as we dive into the best composer you’ve never heard of, Mr. Bear McCreary. From The Walking Dead to Battlestar Galactica to The Rings of Power, to Outlander, to Jason Momoa’s SEE, Bear has perfected the art of utilizing unconventional instruments and starting his scores with 1 unique sound to grab the audience’s attention.

Whether it’s the yearning of the duduk, the curiosity of the yayli tanbur, the bottom end of the blaster beam, or the versatility of the hurdy gurdy (our new favorite instrument), we are all in on his approach to writing scores as a total complement to the material. Join us as we learn about these unique instruments and how he weaves his musical tapestries to create authentic landscapes.
