Michael's score for Splinter Cell: Double Agent has already resulted in a
'Best Original Score' award from IGN, and a 2006

Along with Michael as lead composer for Behavior, there were numerous other musicians involved in the soundtrack: Scott Russell (drums / percussion), Graham Playford (guitar & additional composition), Andrea Revel (additional vocals), Brigitte Dajczer (additional violin), Tim Rideout (additional arrangements), and Samuel Girardin (additional mixing).
Over the last 10 years Michael has been composer, sound designer, producer and musician on countless projects, from film and tv, to LP's and advertising. Aside from Splinter Cell: Double Agent, he was also Music Editor and Supervising Sound Designer for the multi-award winning film "It's All Gone Pete Tong", and was the composer behind Old Navy's Spring 2006 ad campaign (with Andrea Revel), Rotary International's 2006 World Peace ads, and is the 'Main Theme' composer for the dramatic TV series 'Regenesis', now heading into its 3rd season. (Regenesis airs on Showcase, The Movie Network , Sci-Fi UK, and was recently nominated for 10 Gemini Awards). Michael was also a panelist speaker at the 2006 'Future of Music Policy Summit' in Montreal (as part of Pop Montreal Festival), as well as speaking at the Arcadia Festival in November.
McCann's sound-design and music editing work on the film "It's All Gone Pete Tong" earned him 2 Genie-nominations (2006), 2 Leo Awards, and the film itself went on to win multiple 'Best Picture' awards including the Toronto International Film Festival, Gen Arts Film Festival and the HBO Comedy Film Festival.
Past work has also included composing and licensing music for MTV, VH1, Alliance Atlantis, Ubisoft, Odeon Films, AudioKinetic, Gap Inc., Ogilvy and Mather, Deustche Inc. L.A., and many more.
