Assassin’s Creed Music by Jesper Kyd
Ubisoft today sent out word that British Academy-award winning composer Jesper Kyd has scored the soundtrack to Assassin’s Creed. He used a combination of epic orchestral compositions with acoustic, percussion and vocal performances to breathe life into the game.
“We listened to many composers before finding the right person for Assassin’s Creed. Jesper Kyd turned out to be the perfect match for the title because he is able to create epic historical pieces fused with both traditional medieval instruments and modern synth sounds,” shared Jade Raymond, producer of Assassin’s Creed. “For Assassin’s Creed we wanted the score to capture the gruesome atmosphere of medieval warfare but also be edgy and contemporary. Jesper not only achieved this balance but also underlined the changes in gameplay and pacing in a way that immerses the player even further into the Assassin’s Creed experience.”
The game is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this November.
