Jesper Kyd! :O

I bought Scorcher back in the day largely thanks to his soundtrack for it. He's a bit of a brilliant young man.

He also did a great job with the hitman series.

I hate to be a party pooper but I knew he was doing the music since last year :D I love his work. the Hitman soundtracks are still one of the best out there!

With 2 anyway, I sort of thought it ran on fumes after that.

Freedom Fighters was eerily good though. I definitely prefer his music when he weaves in symphonic sounds to go with his characteristic, electronic melodies.

You aint alone on that one :D
I knew he was doing it, I even got like 3-4 promo samples from Assassins Creed by him.

Jesper Kyd isn't bad, as long as he doesn't do electronic kind of stuff, because it doesn't fit that much, maybe in that "futuristic" twist. but once in the crusaders it should be like alot of choir, orchestrals stuff, I was thinking something like Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Gladiator type of scores.

but Jesper knows what he is doing, hell I even listen to his Hitman music now and then, very cool stuff.

I think a real asset of his is that he's putting electronic melodies into his orchestrated stuff too, retaining some personality. I know, the musicians job is to not make people notice the music and all that, but I think that's a load of bollocks. Good game music is a lot better than "good" movie soundtracks, because it's very much its own character.

It's become less so in recent years, most noticable in all the Final Fantasy games where it's all just *symphonic noise* compared to earlier entries. Part of this is because there are so many instruments and "ingredients" that the distinct melodies of old have been phased out, but that doesn't neccessarily have to be true and Jesper Kyd is part of the proof of that.

interesting, I did the same thing. Was he also the one behind those other Scavenger titles like Amok, HardWired, RedZone and Batman & Robin (when they were called Clockwork Tortoise)?

I still listen to the intro sequence from Batman & Robin from time to time ... soooooo genius

Very nice indeed great move.
Commented on 2007-10-16 17:47:01
Whoa he did Freedom Fighters? That was a GREAT soundtrack.

since we are talking about AC right now - does anyone know what track it was that Ubisoft used for the E3 trailer this year? I really love that song ;))

So has the problem with the size of the dvd been solved yet?
Commented on 2007-10-16 20:39:35

Thanks.
Commented on 2007-10-16 21:00:17
Nice. Hes done so many great soundtracks for games that we can now be sure that AC will have some great atmospheric music.
Commented on 2007-10-16 21:37:50

I've always loved his music in the Hitman games, always perfect. I was on the fence about this game but the music seals the deal. Im in.
