What a great site. I am a huge admirer of Battlestar Galactica. And with that Bear Mccreary is equaly important for me as the show. It is 1 big art wonder of chemicals between people i still think of every day. The video’s on youtube from that big concert on that nice blue lighted stage. the Battlestar Galactica orchestra band. Is there a dvd from any of this?

I would buy it with love if there was. I go to youtube often to watch reruns. just like with the show itself. Also the solo piano video’s and accordeon from Bear are worth a lot for me.

Bear, your music enriched my soul and i would deffinetly want it on dvd or hd dvd.

For BSG i will remember all of you untill the day i die. You have created somethiong immortal. I sometimes wonder why not more people saw and felt this/ Let’s say in comparrisson to the trekkies and so..

Love BSG 2003 for ever. and Bear. i cannot listen to your music without it touching the deepest inner emotions of my soul. thank you fopr that.

Now i am gonna put this site to my favorites. i am not done with you. lol..

Hey .. when a tour in Europe? I reviewed yesterday Daybreak and BSG is a classic time can, working with the gang but also with the cessation of major sagas such as Lost, in short, you miss the geek ..

Daybreak… “so uhm…..where can I find the Tab for Apocalypse?”

Glad to be of some inspiration! Apocalypse is so easy on the bass that even I could play it. So, I don’t think you’ll have any problems. It’s literally two notes… the catch is that they are the D and C below the lowest note on a regular bass. So, you need to de-tune to DROP C or get a 5 string bass. But, fretted for sure. Enjoy rocking out!

Hi Bear

What can I say, life for you must be extraordinary, to have something you created loved by so many must fill your every waking moment with joy.

I used to be a drummer, only mediocre, however Apocalypse from “The Plan” has inspired me to take up that other instrument I’ve long desired to learn, the Bass Guitar….. :)
so uhm…..where can I find the Tab for Apocalypse?
what’s the best bass for this piece Fretted or fretless?

cheers

[...] production began so they could play it back on set. I was in the final week of rehearsals for the Battlestar Galactica Orchestra concerts in San Diego, so the timing wasn’t exactly convenient. But, I could not resist the opportunity to compose an [...]

Husker75… “I was wondering which one of them played the whistle (it IS a whistle, right?) for the Adama theme most of the time. I thought it was Eric?”

Sorry I didn’t answer this sooner, this thread got buried. My bad.

It’s Eric that plays it most of the time, although Chris Bleth has played it as well. As for the type of whistle, we basically used every one he’s got at one point or another.

Hey Bear! Sorry, but I didn’t know where else to ask this.. I couldn’t find contact information easily for Chris or Eric through their sites.. and I was wondering which one of them played the whistle (it IS a whistle, right?) for the Adama theme most of the time. I thought it was Eric?
I’ve been dying to get my hands on a good one so I can play it on my own. I am just very curious if it was Chris or Eric who played it most of the time, and what type of whistle it was? Low D? I know very little about them, and feel very ignorant asking this question.. but i’m in love with that theme so much that it is pathetic.. and i just HAVE to be able to play it on my own. It’s like a life goal now. :)
Any help you can give me would make me eternally happy! Thanks! ~Michael

Yeah “I landed in a stream of stars” (I saw it that way once, and that’s how I always see it) suddenly has a flow and is a great episode in the extended version!

As for the concerts, I think it would break my heart if the BSG Orchestra came to Euroland, but too far away or at the wrong time for me to come. It’s almost one of my personal nightmares. It seems in the forums that everyone wants London, but Helsinki-Stockholm-Copenhagen-Tallinn would be more realistic options for us in Nordicland.

If not that many people turn up, you can always setup in my apartment. It’s small, but the living room is huge, and piss off Drunky McDrinkstoomuch who lives above us, and treats us to 4am raves (it’s a quiet family neighborhood so he’s out of place). The guy nextdoor plays blues guitar, and I’ve heard opera wafting in the stairway, so I think you’d have an audience just right here in this building..

But don’t let that offer sway you in any way. ;)
