Mccreary, Bear
Child's Play (2019) O.s.t. (2lp)
Composer Bear McCreary's music of the Child's Play remake from 2019 is carried out with his assembly of a "toy orchestra". McCreary uses his own voice to create an ominous "kids choir" and collaborates closely with legendary actor Mark Hamill who sings the track for the film, 'The Buddi Song'. Inspired by Chucky's toy origins, McCreary challenged himself by composing a score predominately with toys and handheld instruments, completely avoiding traditional orchestra. Toy pianos, slinkies, xylophones, rattles, ukuleles, accordions, kazoos, hurdy gurdies, and more are married with a variety synthesizers, percussion, violin, viola, cello, and bass to create a wholly original, terrifying, and dynamic score. Double LP on 180 gram "Chucky's Eyes" colored vinyl. Disc 1: blue iris, disc 2: red iris.
