Hitman:
Contracts Soundtrack Composition
New
York - February 2nd, 2004 - Jesper Kyd (www.jesperkyd.com) is following
up his work on the award-winning soundtracks for IO Interactive's Hitman
series and Freedom Fighters (recipient of GameSpot's 2003 Best Original
Music in a Game Award) with an entirely new original score for Hitman:
Contracts. Music composed and produced by Kyd is also featured in the
debut movie trailer for Hitman: Contracts.
"The
Hitman: Contracts score follows the dark, sinister nature of the third
Hitman game", said Kyd, who previously scored Hitman 2: Silent
Assassin and its predecessor Hitman: Codename 47. "The soundtrack
is a dark and adventurous score mixed with suspenseful electronica
elements", he added. Kyd has written more than 90 minutes of
original music for Hitman: Contracts.
