BloodBoal 7,538 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 SPARKS & SHADOWS TO RELEASE THE SOUNDTRACK FORANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIEMUSIC COMPOSED BY BEAR MCCREARYMcCreary Brings His Love for 8-Bit Scores To Life With New SoundtrackAlbum Features Two Original Songs by Young Beautiful In A Hurry(August 26, 2014 – Culver City, CA) Sparks & Shadows announces the release of the ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) digitally on September 2, 2014. The soundtrack features original music by Emmy® Award winning composer Bear McCreary for the film based on the popular Angry Video Game Nerd web series.In addition to writing the original music, McCreary remixed two songs for the album, "Sacred Ground of the Golden Turd” and "The Angry Video Game Nerd Theme Song.” The band Young Beautiful in a Hurry contribute two songs, “Nerds Before Birds” and “Barcade.” Both songs were written by the band’s Brendan McCreary, who regularly collaborates with Bear on the TV series Defiance.“I can honestly say that the score for ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE is without doubt the most fun score I’ve ever produced,” said McCreary. “I also got to incorporate the iconic ‘Angry Video Game Nerd Theme Song,’ and collaborate with its composer, Kyle Justin.”James Rolfe (aka “The Nerd”) brings his popular web series to life with ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE. The Nerd became a web sensation with his angry and often foul-mouthed reviews of video games and pop culture. In 2011 The Nerd used his skills in viral marketing to launch a Kickstarter campaign to bring his web series to the big screen.The film is inspired by the famous Atari video game burial of 1982. Atari produced a game based on the biggest blockbuster movie of that year, E.T., and rushed it to meet the deadline for the Christmas shopping season. It was a commercial failure and millions of unsold game cartridges were buried in a desert landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Coincidentally, it’s not too far from Roswell, the landing site of a different kind of E.T.The Nerd sets out on a quest to find and review this video game – finally giving his fans what they have long desired – and leading to hilarious consequences…For ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE Rolfe turned to Bear McCreary to compose the original music. McCreary had previously composed/arranged music for the 2010 ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD Christmas episode, How the Nerd Stole Christmas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMINBv_Dqvs)“The music combines a full symphonic orchestra, heavy metal rhythm section and custom sampled synthesis from NES, Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis hardware,” McCreary described. “For this score, I got to live out all my musical fantasies, combining influences from my favorite video games and film composers that inspired me when I was a kid.Cinemassacre presents ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE will be available on Video On Demand on September 2nd. Sparks & Shadows presents the ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD: THE MOVIE (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), available digitally on September 2, 2014.Other releases from Sparks & Shadows include McCreary's two soundtracks for the series Da Vinci’s Demons (featuring the Emmy® Award-winning title theme), Black Sails (featuring the Emmy® Award-nominated title theme), Defiance, as well as motion picture soundtracks for Europa Report and Knights of Badassdom.# # #www.sparksandshadows.netwww.bearmccreary.comFor more information contact cinemediapromo@yahoo.com or @cinemediapromo on Twitterhttp://www.filmtracks.com/scoreboard/index.cgi?read=152379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Trailer is out for Bear's latest feature film score Score will be released by Bear's label, Sparks and Shadows “EVERLY is a film in which Salma Hayek must stay alive in an apartment while confronting wave after wave of increasingly volatile and vicious Yakuza gangsters. It is pretty much as awesome as it sounds,” described BadassDigest. MovieFone described it as “a symphony of exploding heads and bullets.” To score this ‘symphony,’ Director Joe Lynch turned to frequent collaborator Bear McCreary. Lynch said, “Bear and Team McCreary (including his lovely muse Raya and badass brother Brendan, who worked on the holiday tracks) were the sonic glue that holds the madness together, and I don’t know what the film would be like without his work on it.” Track listing: 1. A Gift from Taiko 2. Deck the Halls (Performed by Raya Yarbrough) 3. Allies 4. Fighting to Survive 5. A Very Merry Christmas (Performed by Brendan McCreary) 6. Dead Man 7. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Performed by Brendan McCreary) 8.FaLaLa (Performed by Brendan McCreary) 9. The Sadist 10. Taiko 11. Resolution 12. Silent Night (Performed by Raya Yarbrough) 13. Everly End Credits http://sparksandshadows.net/everly/ You can pre-order it on iTunes now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/everly-original-%20motion-picture/id951143407?ls=1 And La-La Land Records will sell 360 copies of the physical CD signed by Bear on Tuesday January 20th, 2015. http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=67395&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=48&r=714#bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I really want the AVGN score, but I've never downloaded anything from actual online shops before, so could anyone help me out a bit?If I ordered it through Amazon.com, will Amazon allow me to save the music files and store it in my own external HDD or will I only be able to access it from their cloud?I just want to know what I'm buying and how I'm allowed to use it before I make any purchase.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I buy mp3 files from Amazon and use their Amazon Downloader program to save them to my local hard drive. I can then copy them to an iPod or any other external hard drive I want to. They put an Amazon specific code in the Comments tag, which I usually erase. I often need to tweak the tags of Amazon files before putting them on my iPod anyways. I once bought a two disc live Queen album that would have made disc 2 a different album and alphabetically just before disc 1. Ten second fix.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 They're both the same level of difficulty. I have bought albums from iTunes that my tagging OCD compelled me to retag. That's a personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 DRM like that is a 2000s thing. If you buy music from basically any digital retailer, but for sure Amazon and iTunes, you can download the files and do whatever you want with then.It should be noted that with iTunes, you name is embedded in the file you get. There are apps that can strip it out.With Amazon, they are just plain old mp3s with no information in them you can't see in the standard tags.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah. Amazon is usually cheaper than iTunes, but that 256AAC is also more tempting to me than Amazon's VBR mp3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWMike 117 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Looking forward to Everly. Also, it looks like Outlander could be out in February. Haven't watched the show yet, but his reworking of the song used for the main title is great. The 'celtic' moments in BSG were impressive, so this is promising. The label for this one interestingly is Sony's 'Madison Gate Records', rather than his own label.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outlander-O-S-T-Bear-Mccreary/dp/B00RHYBCN6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veil Of Time Running Time: 51 minutesI see it's a vol. 1 release rather than a season 1 release as it only includes music from the first 8 episodes. Cash grab! But I'll take it. Going by the fairly rabid fanbase and the fact that Sony are putting it out one of their labels it could be a decent-selling album. Still not had the opportunity to view the show so the album will be my first experience of the score apart from the rather good title song.

JWMike 117 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Outlander is out today.

It's been in the top 5 soundtracks on Amazon for a few weeks, currently #2 and it is the #13 overall best-selling CD on Amazon at the moment.

Thor 7,515 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's a pretty good show, yes (I actually surprised myself by liking it, as I had assumed it was more 'women's lit' than it was), and Bear's score is very good. So is this album, which contains lots of lush Celtic colours -- something I'm very weak for. Additionally, Bear has FINALLY made a proper album, which is another relief (he usually puts out about 670 minutes of music on each album of each television show he works on).

Hlao-roo 389 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's a series I'd like to catch up with at some point -- the Ron Moore-Bear McCreary collaboration is a draw -- but in this so-called "golden age" of television I can keep up with only so many shows.I've listened to this a few times today -- it's pretty solid, though nothing really stands out. For the sake of making a haphazard comparison, Lee Holdridge's The Mists of Avalon strikes me as a better listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Really? I like The Mists of Avalon, but it's not exactly a score that has a lot of...stand out moments.

Them wanting song albums surely can't be the only reason for them preventing the score release. 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is just the latest example showing that you can do both at the same time. The song album for that is #2 on the billboard chart. (Hmm. The secret for good album sales is properties based on books with large female fanbases!)Whatever politics, misplaced fears or indifference currently at play surely can't last. Seems a no-brainer for the most popular show on tv to get a score release. Hopefully one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could change that.I think it would be neat if he scored Inhumans, since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is introducing the Inhumans to the MCU. However, I hope that he would have had a chance to score a big live-action film before 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
