The last time we highlighted the soundtrack for the Assassin's Creed series, we interviewed composer Jesper Kyd about his start in the industry and his involvement with Ubisoft's open-ended adventure title. In light of the impending release of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, we are giving you a sneak preview of the game's soundtrack courtesy of Ubisoft and the composer himself.
According to Kyd, he took the upcoming game's score in a new direction
to match the setting of Constantinople. Because the city was a melting
pot of different cultures and predominantly used Greek as its main
spoken language, the game's soundtrack contains a lot of Greek
influences and Middle Eastern elements. Kyd said that he added new
musical ideas to reflect the story's continuation from its prequel,
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
He was encouraged to not only bring back recurring themes from the original Assassin's Creed, but also bring back more of his electronic elements that brought him into the business in the first place. "The subtle electronic elements have always been important to the Assassin’s Creed scores since they amplify the idea that we are living inside the Animus, seeing everything through Desmond’s eyes."
