Need another reason to move to Hollywood? On Tuesday night, L.A.’s Roxy Theater was the host for a full-orchestra concert conducted by Bear McCreary, the composer for Battlestar Galactica! Unsurprisingly, it was an overflow crowd and completely sold out. From Reuters…

McCreary’s score is fully deserving of the fame, with its intense percussive mix of taiko drums and ethereal woodwinds. He also has one of the best blogs in the business. It’s a fascinating look at the process of making music for film and television and the care he takes with aligning the score with the twists and turns of each character’s plot lines.

The crowd at the Roxy on Tuesday was appreciative of the complexities of McCreary’s work and how it ties into the characters, going wild after each number and cheering in recognition when particular movements started.

Man, if this concert came to Portland, I would be all over it. (However, I doubt I would wear my Cylon toaster uniform.)

You have to admit, hearing THIS played live by a full orchestra would be pretty awe-inspiring.
