BSG composer coming at you live over the net
Found this on the SyFy Portal:
Bear McCreary, music composer for SciFi Channel's top-rated "Battlestar Galactica" television series, will lead his band, 17 Billion Miles of DNA, in a live Internet concert Oct. 20 at midnight ET, 9 p.m. PT.
The event features McCreary's "bizarre little jazz band" in what he describes as Django Reinhardt meets Astor Piazzola meets Axl Rose. The band includes lead vocals by Bt4 -- a vocalist in McCreary's BSG score -- as well as M.B. Gordy on drums, another alum of the "Galactica" musical score."
Sounds like fun. I doubt it will sound like BSG, but it is interesting in the same way that the first Zorro movie was interesting. How was the first Zorro movie interesting? Well the person who did the sword choreography for the film also did the sword work in the Star Wars: Phantom Menace movie so my geeky friends and I in college went and saw Zorro because it was a way for us to indulge our Star Wars geekiness by proxy.
I guess this concert would sort of work the same way in the BSG off-season... give us a proxy... for the BSG geekiness... yeah...
The funny part is that the swordmaster of Zorro (Robert Anderson) ended up not being the same guy as in The Phantom Menance (Nick Gillard)... so it was a huge geek-mistake from the likes of which we may never recover.
