The MMORPG, The
Chronicles of Spellborn, has itself a music composer now in the form of
Jesper Kyd, who is most well known for the work he has done on Freedom
Fighters, and the Hitman series.
"We
knew a mix of diverse musical textures would better serve our game than
simply using an orchestra, so we approached Jesper Kyd who is renowned
for his versatility as well as producing
scores that go beyond the traditional mould,” explains Matthew
Florianz, Sound Designer for The Chronicles of Spellborn."
Jesper has fashioned the kind of grandeur usually associated with the
cinematic sound of an orchestra, though he only used analogue
sounds
and
solo instruments, and delivers a deeply emotional impact with a minimum
of bombast. His elaborate, cerebral and intuitive treatment was exactly
what we were looking for."
Barry
Hoffman, Spellborn International NV.’s Marketing Manager added, "Jesper
Kyd is a composer with the rare combination of having a recognizable
personal style, a good feel for what speaks to a mass audience and the
ability to translate mood and emotion into music. Just as he has done in
the action and stealth genres before, Jesper Kyd brings extraordinary
creativity that will not only captivate Spellborn
players but will also appeal to a broader spectrum of music lovers and
soundtrack fans."
