So I’m at home, about to eat my dinner, and I stumble across this video (thanks Wyld) – a cool behind the scenes look at the voice behind the new Assassin’s Creed soundtrack. As they say where I come from ‘she’s goat a fair set a’ lungs’ – which roughly translates as ‘she’s a beautiful singer’. You should totally watch this.

Stunning.
I’ve always loved the Assassins Creed soundtrack, she looks like she’ll do an amazing job on Revelations.

Is Hans Zimmer doing the soundtrack for Assassins Creed?

Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 9:06 PMYeah, he’s doing it for Revelations.
Kind of sad to see that Jesper Kyd not doing it this time. He’s tracks in number 2 were awesome.
Aidan
Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 9:32 PMHans Zimmer? Wow, I had no idea.
It’s sounding really good at the moment, but yeah, Jasper Kyd really had some great work with 2 and Brotherhood.

Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 11:25 PMMan I Zimmer fanatics get to me sometimes – Hans Zimmer has no formal association with this soundtrack at all.
Period, full stop, done. He’s not onboard.
Main score is being handled by Jesper Kyd, additional themes are being handled by Lorne Balfe, who has worked alongside Zimmer in the past. That’s the only connection it has. They were at Zimmer’s studio in the video, because that’s obviously where Balfe works, seeing as he composes so much ‘additional music’ for the guy.
So, in short, no Zimmer on this.

If anyone above me (excluding the man in the know, meaculpa) actually read that article, you would know. :)

Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 10:53 PMThat’s the sort of voice where if I was there I’d probably start bawling my eyes out for absolutely no reason.

Friday, October 14, 2011 at 2:19 AMThat voice is amazing, just the voice alone makes me think of the AC universe, she’ll be a great match!
Hmm...
