Even if you don't know his name, you know Bear McCreary. Hum something from Battlestar Galactica. Go ahead, anything. The first thing to pop into your head. Was it the stuff Kara Thrace played on the piano, or that funky version of "All Along the Watchtower" with sitars or whatever, or the main chanty theme during the credits, or even the action scene drumming and whooping? That last bit is a tough one to hum and an even tougher one to get out of your head. Whichever one you hummed, it was composed by Bear McCreary.

McCreary has just been signed to do the music for Capcom's Dark Void, an action game whose main gimmick is the interaction between extreme vertical level design and a jetpack. Plus a pretty cool retro 40s look. Think The Rocketeer. Now think The Rocketeer combined with a Bear McCreary soundtrack.

Here's the little quote attribued to McCreary in Capcom's press release:

When I got the call from Capcom to work on the music for Dark Void, I jumped at the chance to do it, considering my love for Capcom games. I have been looking for the opportunity to compose a game score for a long time, but I've been waiting for the right one. Dark Void's epic story and unique gameplay drew me in immediately and I have had a lot of fun working on the project.
