FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CAPRICA SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS



Composer Bear McCreary Scores Battlestar Galactica Prequel



(June 10, 2009- Burbank, CA) - La-La Land Records will release the soundtrack
for Caprica on June 16, 2009. The two-hour pilot movie, released on DVD on
April 21st from Universal Home Entertainment, launches the new series Caprica to
air on the SCI FI Channel in early 2010. Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica,
Wrong Turn 2) composed the score for this Battlestar Galactica prequel.
McCreary will be appearing in July at The House of Blues in San Diego during
Comic Con. La-La Land Records is releasing the Caprica soundtrack through a
license agreement with NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer
Products Group.



Bear McCreary is one of the top young composers working in Hollywood. His work
on the television series Battlestar Galactica has been described as offering
"some of the most innovative music on TV today," by Variety, and his blog
www.bearmccreary.com/blog, which features in-depth inside looks at the process
of scoring Battlestar Galactica, was called "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," by The Hollywood Reporter.



Among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein,
McCreary is a classically trained composer with degrees in Composition and
Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music. His credits
include Wrong Turn 2, the two Rest Stop films, the upcoming Capcom video game
Dark Void, the series Eureka, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and
Battlestar Galactica.



Set 50 years before the events that unfolded in Battlestar Galactica, Caprica
chronicles an astonishing scientific breakthrough taking shape on the planet
Caprica. The rapidly evolving spheres of human and mechanical engineering have
collided, along with the fates of two families. Joined by tragedy in an
explosive instant of terror, two rival clans led by powerful patriarchs, Joseph
Adama (Esai Morales) and Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) duel in an era of
questionable ethics, corporate machinations and unbridled personal ambition as
the final war for humanity looms.



"The Caprica score, while echoing the spirit of Galactica, is very much its own
entity, like the series itself", says McCreary. "This album is the seed from
which the musical universe of Caprica will evolve and grow."



Caprica not only introduces new characters and a new spirit to the Battlestar
Galactica family, it also welcomes a new director, Jeffrey Reiner. He
describes, "Bear sent me very complete demos against picture that worked great,
but it wasn't until I sat in the scoring stage at Warner Bros., and heard the
maestro conduct his orchestra, that I was blown away."



"My approach for Caprica would be the polar opposite [of Galactica]," explains
McCreary. "After all, the events of this series take place in an entirely
different environment. Caprica City is a familiar society at its most decadent
and opulent peak. The audience knows that doomsday looms on the horizon, but
the characters themselves do not."



There will be musical threads that connect the two series. For example, the
track "The Adama Name" ends with an understated reprise of the Adama family
theme ("Wander My Friends") to connect the boy of Caprica to the commander of
Galactica. Have no fear . the taiko percussion ensemble returns and can be
heard on "Cybernetic Life Form Node."



Caprica is currently available on DVD and will premiere on the SCI FI Channel in
early 2010. The Caprica soundtrack will be available in stores or from
www.lalalandrecords.com on June 16, 2009. The two-CD Battlestar Galactica:
Season 4 soundtrack will be released by La-La Land Records on July 21. For

San Diego during Comic Con, visit www.bearmccreary.com.
