   About JESPER KYD
This is the only official Jesper Kyd page on Myspace.

Danish-born composer Jesper Kyd has created some of the most memorable, cinematic scores in interactive entertainment and his ability to constantly create new sounds for the visual medium is a trademark of his craft. Kyd's compelling and distinctive scores feature a diverse array of acoustic and symphonic orchestrations, hypnotic vocal performances and electronic manipulations immersed with an emotional depth often described by critics as ‘rousing,' 'surreal' and 'beautiful.’ His music for blockbusters such as ASSASSIN'S CREED and the HITMAN series has received awards and nominations from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Hollywood Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards.

Spanning from his iconic orchestral scores performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and Hungarian Radio Choir on the HITMAN video games and the Billboard-nominated hybrid choral score for FREEDOM FIGHTERS, to his epic Hollywood production scores for the best-selling new franchise ASSASSIN'S CREED, Jesper Kyd is a leading composer renowned for creating stylish and inspirational original soundtracks.

He was the definitive music artist to provide a rich and melodic musical palette for Ubisoft’s flagship title, ASSASSIN'S CREED. Recorded with world class ethnic and percussion musicians and veteran Hollywood vocalists, Kyd’s atmospheric score delivered a deeply spiritual aesthetic with Hollywood flair for which he was nominated at The Hollywood Music Awards, picked up his second BAFTA nomination and was awarded the ELAN Award (Canadian Awards for the Electronic & Animated Arts) for Best Original Music.

For ASSASSIN'S CREED II, Kyd has taken the music in an adventurous new direction and crafted an immensely diverse, melodic and progressive musical palette. The music propels the action, captures the allure and mystery of the story and immerses players in the breathtakingly detailed settings. The score was recorded with A-List musicians and a Hollywood orchestra and choir at the world-renowned Capitol Studios in Los Angeles.

Kyd also writes for film and television productions including the original soundtrack to STAUNTON HILL (Batpack Studios / Anchor Bay Entertainment), a visceral thriller directed by G. Cameron Romero, the son of legendary cult filmmaker George A. Romero. To portray the rustic and unhinging experience of Romero's STAUNTON HILL, Kyd composed a gripping guitar-based instrumental score manipulated with industrial sounds and subversive ambience. The score evokes a deep sense of isolation and impending breakdown which spirals into distorted frenzy.

His other recent scoring assignments include THE RESISTANCE pilot TV series (Starz Media) produced by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures and the First Person Role Playing Shooter BORDERLANDS (Gearbox/2K). Kyd is currently working on several unannounced film and game score projects as well as recording collaborations with veteran engineer/producer Jeff Blenkinsopp (The Secret Machines, Pink Floyd, The Who, ELP, Vangelis). He resides in Burbank, California and is represented by the Gorfaine-Schwartz Agency.

I, too, love the ACII soundtrack! I can't wait to get the game!

Unfortunately I plan on getting the PC version, which sadly means I'll have to wait until next March at least. :(

Still, well done and good luck with the awards!

If this reaches you Jesper, your music is amazing, ofcourse. It pumps me up to go on trail runs, midnight runs, parkour runs, for workouts, it relaxes me and prepares me for meditation, it puts me into awareness mode, it cuts to the core and releases pure emotion, exactly what music SHOULD do.

You are one of the few that I look to for excellent music that brings an enthusiasm rarely brought out by others.

Thanks.

Greetings jesper...

Growing up as a kid hearing your works on sub-terrania, is by far still my favorite works of yours, and still listen to it frequently to this day, as it is the first pieces to get me into electronic music...thanks for all the great memories and inspirations growing up, and good luck with all your future compositions, Thanks.

Regards, ea
