BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Anyone watch this show and can shed some light on the music? It sounds really interesting from the score documentary.http://www.hulu.com/watch/206807/the-cape-the-scoreEspecially right at the beginning with the strings (around 21 seconds in). I haven't heard strings like that since 1980's Empire Strikes Back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckM 1 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yes, I've been watching The Cape too. Really enjoying the score so far, but haven't made up my mind on the show itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I knew from the first promo that I would never watch it. It's called... The Cape. Worst title ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 386 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I thought this thread was about the change of title from The Dark Knight Rises to The Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The music is really good from the first two episodes that I watched. I'm not really surprised considering Bear McCready(sp?) is doing it. Judging by the quality of the show, however, I don't think it will be on long enough for him to really build on any of the themes.

GoodMusician 56 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Bear said that he's always had this score in him and fought to make sure that he had the ability to use a big orchestra live rather than synthetic. He said he was a big fan of the Batman cartoon scores which held a great amount of gravitas and I can't recall her name, but he was a huge fan of the composers. He's recording on the same WB scoring stage she did as well so he felt a great honor to be doing that.As for the music, he is really excited about it. He tweeted today about how the horns 'blew the roof off' of the sound stage heh. He is, of course, a big fan of Williams Superman and is said he always felt he had this score in him and was just waiting for the oppourtunity to present itself. He won't, unfortunately and fortunately, have the diversion of dealing with the score to CAPRICA (sheds a tear) or on a few of the other shows he was working on, one of which he and most of hte production crew was fired for this season, so he will simply be able to focus a lot of effort into this score.Not that impressed with the previews, i'm not sure I'll download it (as I don't have tv) but maybe just to hear his music. The filming and set design and lighting all looks very much like that from CAPRICA so I wonder if they're all just on that show now instead. That may be a reason to watch since it was so well done.Bears Battlestar Blog:The Cape Main Title Blog entryThe Cape Pilot Blog entryThe Cape - Kozmo Blog Entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruckhorn 105 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I knew from the first promo that I would never watch it. It's called... The Cape. Worst title ever.When I first saw the title, I thought it was a show about NASA, or took place on Cape Cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 First time I saw the preview I thought, The Shadow, The Dark Knight and wasn't there just a recently canceled show with a similar theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm enjoying THE CAPE. I first thought it was a travel programme about South Africa. I was so disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm a little behind on The Cape, but I just watched episode 8, and the score is fantastic! Bear really outdid himself on this one. I could definately hear the Shirley Walker influence here, but in a good way, not just blatant copying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wanted to like this show, especially for Bear and the obvious Batman influence but just couldn't continue after the second episode, especially since it was all but certain to only have 10 episodes before it would be canceled. I would definitely pick up a cd release though, as I really liked what I heard and enjoyed his work on Human Target and Terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
