Jesper Jakobson Kyd (born 3 February 1972) is a Danish-born video game and film score composer who was acclaimed for composing music for the Hitman series.
Biography
Assassin's Creed
He continued his work with Assassin's Creed, going on to provide music for the majority of the primary installments in the series, including Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, the latter of which he shared credit with composer Lorne Balfe. During this arrangement, Kyd composed the background music for the single-player portion of the game, while Balfe handled the main theme, the single-player cutscenes, and the music for the game's multiplayer.[1]
For reasons unknown, Kyd did not return for Assassin's Creed III, for which the sole composer was Lorne Balfe.[2]
In 2019, on the 10th anniversary of the release of Assassin's Creed II, Kyd released 17 previously unreleased tracks via his SoundCloud. Many are alternate variants of the existing tracks from the soundtrack.[3]
Jesper Kyd eventually returned to compose the soundtracks for Assassin's Creed Valhalla alongside Sarah Schachner, who previously composed the soundtracks for Assassin's Creed: Origins.[4]
