Bear McCreary to Provide SOCOM 4's Soundtrack Posted by Chris Roper
While the SOCOM franchise may be best known for its top-notch online multiplayer aspects, we think you'll be blown away with what's in store for you in SOCOM 4's single-player campaign. We're pushing the franchise further than it's ever gone in terms of visuals, storytelling, presentation and, of course, action sequences that will leave your jaw on the floor, all while maintaining SOCOM's classic tactical focus.
With all that in mind, we wanted to round out the experience with a stellar soundtrack, one that would help define the franchise's next big release. We're very excited to announce that the score is being handled by none other than Bear McCreary, who is best known for his critically-acclaimed work on Battlestar Galactica.
No stranger to blending genres of music, Bear's work on the soundtrack is largely influenced by Asian instrumentation, which corresponds to the Southeast Asia setting of SOCOM 4. Making use of ethnic soloists and gamelan ensembles, SOCOM 4's score will perfectly fit the mood and atmosphere of OpsCom and company's operation.
If you'd like to be one of the first people in the world to not only hear SOCOM 4's soundtrack, but do it in person and even meet Bear McCreary, science fiction website io9.com is running a contest to send one lucky fan to a recording session for the game's score. How can you pass on that chance?
