Emmy Award winning composer Bear McCreary was first launched into pop culture with his groundbreaking score to the hit series Battlestar Galactica, that was lauded by Variety as “the most innovative music on TV today.” It “fits the action so perfectly, it’s almost devastating: a sci-fi score like no other” (NPR). Io9.com ranked McCreary one of the Ten Best Science Fiction Composers of All Time, and recently WIRED Magazine declared him one of only five “Secret Weapons” of the television industry. McCreary was recently voted “Composers’ Choice Composer of the Year – Television” by his peers in ASCAP, the first award of its kind. Bear has conducted orchestral performances of his music throughout North America and Europe, appearing at Fimucité in Tenerife, and the International Film Music Festival in Úbeda, Spain. In July 2014, his music was performed by the L.A. Philharmonic and L.A. Master Choraleat the Hollywood Bowl, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. Attending the prestigious Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, Bear completed degrees in composition and recording arts. However, his professional training came from film music legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven, To Kill a Mocking Bird). Bear was one of Bernstein’s select protégés, and learned the tools of the trade working with and orchestrating for the maestro. Bear spent his childhood immersed in film and television music; he is delighted now to contribute back to the genres that inspired him.

Mara Blake (Jessica Rothe) is an audio archivist with a glitch in her reality: when she touches someone, she hears the future—fractured soundscapes, neon visions, and emotional echoes that make no sense until they matter most. Her older sister Eliza (the hyper-organized genius with a secret past) has spent years trying to contain Mara’s chaos, ever since a childhood incident cracked time wide open. But when rogue sonic engineer Dr. Voss begins weaponizing sound itself—turning frequencies into mind-altering tech—Mara is forced to team up with her ex-partner Cass “Loop” Virelli (also Kaley Cuoco), a pirate broadcaster who thrives on glitchy rebellion. Alongside Zoey, a high school prodigy whose feral inventions somehow work, and Milo, the dry-witted realist immune to Mara’s touch, they form a crew of misfits trying to decode the pulse that links them all to the future. Together, they stumble through frequency heists, sonic wormholes, and emotional rewinds, discovering that their family’s connection to time and sound runs deeper than they ever imagined. As reality begins to skip like a broken mixtape, Mara must learn to dance with chaos instead of fighting it—before the future rewrites them all. Touchwave is a genre-bending sci-fi comedy about sisterhood, second chances, and the strange music of time. Think Russian Doll meets Scott Pilgrim with a splash of Eternal Sunshine—where every mistake echoes louder, and every glitch is a clue.
