For the film Revolt, I wanted the music to feel mechanical and alien, so we built an orchestra out of obsolete tech. Anybody have fond memories of this floppy disk drive noise?

Themes aren’t just melodies, they’re storytelling tools. For Percy Jackson Season 2, the music had to evolve with Percy. What are your favorite character themes ever written for a film, tv series, or video game?

When writing the score to #PercyJackson, I was inspired by the composer who first inspired me as a kid! Who was the first composer to inspire YOU? Read more on @ign.com ign.com/articles/per...

The Season 2 soundtrack for @percyseries.bsky.social is OUT NOW. Reimagining the main title was intimidating, but the goal was simple: deeper sound, higher stakes. Enjoy! 🐻♥️

There was only one singer I hoped to work with to craft a satisfying conclusion to this musical arc. I was honored to collaborate with the legendary Annie Lennox to create one last “Skye Boat Song” for #Outlander ’s final season. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎶 ❤️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Bear McCreary 🐻🎶 @bearmccreary I am horrified and saddened at the tragic loss of one cinema’s greatest directors. I can’t even begin to list the films this guy made that impacted me throughout my life. We all know them. A legend. A true genius. Rest in peace, Rob Reiner 💔

Counting down the most surprising sounds in my music. Which is your favorite?

So excited to finally debut Outlander in Concert! Who’s gonna join us in Scotland next May? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎵 ❤️ Thanks to @thr.com for unveiling our new concept!
