Incanus 5,713 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I am sure it is just because he declines all offers of big budget movies brought to him to keep himself humble. That is what I would do. Keep it real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 141 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Da Vinci's Demons was just canceled.I know. It's ending after Season 3, which hasn't aired yet, so he still has those episodes to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Even in the 50s-80s, I doubt there was any composer scoring 7 simultaneously running tv shows. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Does he really write all of these?

A passion project.And still no inkling of any sort of release of The Walking Dead.I've never heard anything interesting or a moment that stood out. That release would be one of the most boring ever.

SHIELD has had 2 seasons of 22 episodes each and he's scored them all.Agent Carter was 1 season of 8 episodes and that was scored by Christopher Lennertz (and it's the best TV scoring of 2015!)Daredevil was 1 season of 13 episodes and that was scored by John Paesano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,133 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 His Europa Report Score shows his Genius in the movie format. He can do absolutely anything with 100% authenticity. He has the superhero sound down, the sci-fi sound, the classical and operatic sound, and his varied exploration of different instruments and new and unheard of techniques, even rock and heavy metal is a walk in the park for him. Plus having his wife and brother as soloists on his scores makes him write genuine and personal stuff.I'd love to grab and shake the major studios and scream a friendly "WHY AREN'T YOU THROWING ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD AT THIS GUY TO GET HIM ON YOUR FILM?" Some here might be right that he has no interest in exploding into the 'big' studio films, but someone needs to make Bear realise how successful he could be if he accepts a big film job. He should have learnt that in his many years with Bernstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant do 22 episodes of a show AND a bunch of other stuff.I've spoken to the head of his representation personally and got a pretty good amount of info about his scoring process and inner workings of his operation. He writes everything himself. He runs two orchestras and studios and writes non-stop. You have to remember that there's only a few minutes per episode of noticeable and important music in any show, big or small. Most of the score is underscore for tension and general noise. That is auto-pilot stuff for someone as experienced as Bear is in TV. He also doesn't score them all at once because of different air-dates. Desplat has no team of writers and he can do 6 films a year. Some with wall-to-wall music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Star Trek needed 2 composers working full time, later 4 when it went to 2 series.But a Bear can do 7?Sorry, I don't but it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. A. Ron 1,738 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Based on the titles, there is material from both seasons on here, but it looks like it may lean a lot more toward Season 1. Also, I can't seem to find the album using the actual Spotify app. I wonder why they're willing to stream this through their website, but seemingly not their apps.
