Video: Battlestar Composer Kicks Up SOCOM 4 With Taiko, Gamelan

Wired.com visited Skywalker Sound earlier this summer, where McCreary was recording the game’s soundtrack. While we were interloping on George Lucas’ ranch, we produced two videos that examine different aspects of the SOCOM 4 music. This first installment is about the specific instruments McCreary chose, such as taiko drums and a gamelan ensemble.

Last year, McCreary stepped into videogame soundtracks with Capcom’s sci-fi action title Dark Void . His work was generally recognized as a highlight of the game.
