Over a decade later, and this OST and series still moves me to my core. So Say We All

[@liberalsockpuppet4772]

The crescendo at the end of "The Shape of Things to Come" (the opera house music) we waited years for. When it finally happens it is so bitter sweet. Just sublime.

[@py_a_thon]

The composer who set the tone of this series was named Richard Gibbs, who was also from a band named Oingo Boingo. You may recognize this name. The superbly talented composer named Danny Elfman was the founder of that band. He is a legend in his own right. After the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, Bear McCreary took over the reins of the musical motifs of the show and scored basically every episode. The most recognizable sound imo is the use of piano as a bass instrument in a rhythmic pattern that resembles everything from metal, to minimalism. Phillip Glass is an obvious influence as well. The lower 3 octaves of a grand piano were used incredibly well. The "war drums" sound is perfect. Bear McCreary is also responsible for some very epic ballads and lullaby style music that were used in the show. He oversaw orchestras and simplified music to a core form in simple pieces such as Passacaglia. Bear McCreary also studied under the masterful composer by the name of Leonard Bernstein. If I remember correctly, he was literally his apprentice. McCreary helped Bernstein transcribe and preserve his lifetime of cinematic work in painstaking detail. In other words: this is some of the best music ever created in my lifetime, and in my opinion. This comment took me 10 minutes to properly edit. That is my level of respect for this beautiful mastery of time, space and sound.

Mr McCreary is one of the most talented young composers of his generation (if not THE most). His blending of Eastern and Western influences is fluid and effortless. At only 45, I anticipate great things. It seems to me heaven itself is paying attention.

As a hip hop r and b lover. There is something VERY INTRINSIC ABOUT A ORCHESTRA. ITS A GREAT CAREER. ITs a trip how the conductor looks like he is just twirling a stick but its something more deep about it to the orchestra. Like hand signals from a aviation boatswains mate on a aircraft carrier.

[@robwebnoid5763]

Is it me or is the audio only monophonic? I am not feeling a sense of stereophonic depth & width. Also, I wish Bear also incorporated the famous main theme from Classic original BSG as a homage, perhaps as the outro or an encore, since they also used that theme in the reimagined series at one point. There is no reimagined 2003 series to exist if it was not for the original. I am a fan of both series. There is now rumor of a 3rd BSG remake/reboot/continuation coming along, headed by Sam Esmail. 05/21/24
