  • In 2015 I had the honor of scoring the Victorian London-based entry to Ubisoft's mega-franchise: ASSASSIN'S CREED SYNDICATE. The score was one of the most difficult to write I've ever taken on, but in the end one of the most rewarding. I'll be sharing many excerpts from it in this series, but for now, the main theme where the score starts: "Bloodlines."
    Featuring Iain Farrington (piano), Sandy Cameron (violin) and Tina Guo (cello).

    Every single time I boot-up the game, and the soundtrack starts playing, I won’t click start. Because this is just too goddamn good to skip.

    Extremely beautiful soundtrack . You wouldn't believe it if I told you how much better the game is because of it

    Simply (or complexly?) beautiful. The duality and partnership between the violin and cello make Syndicate one of the most emotionally gripping OSTs in the franchise (for me at least). The performances and the compositional decisions behind the notes really take it home.

    When i first heard the score, it didn’t really grow on my. But the more i listen, the better it gets! I’m even going as far that this is one of the best soundtracks in the franchise!
    Well done!

    This is an amazing score. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I observed a sort of duality throughout the piece between the cello and the violin, especially towards the end. And that very dense contrapuntal section in the middle really reminded me of Brahm's chamber trios. Really passionate writing yet methodical and thought-out at the same time

    • @awintory
      @awintory  4 роки тому +16

      The cello and violin are representative of Evie and Jacob Frye respectively, so you're not wrong at all :)
      I adore Brahms though there isn't an intentional reference here.

    Because of the story Assassin's Creed Black Flag is my second favorite in the franchise. (yes, i have played them all except Odyssey, ew)

    1:01 This part always gives me chills; beautifully written.
    Also why end with that note at 1:29? I'm just curious because, in the most polite way, it felt like an outsider and unpleasing..

    Finally! The best AC soundtrack imo. I was wondering what where the influences on this, if it’s possible to say?

    • @awintory
      @awintory  4 роки тому +3

      Nothing intentional with this piece specifically. Eventually the score took on a Mendelssohn-esque quality as a little bit of a nod to the mid-19th century but the theme just flowed out of the ideas of Jacob and Evie, and their thoughts re: the father

    • @Jiwpgakis
      @Jiwpgakis 4 роки тому

      ​@@awintory interesting! If something had reminded me of the tone, then it would have been the shostakovich piano trios, but that's how subjectivity works. It sounds truly original anyways

    You know, as beautiful as the main theme is, I always found the alternate piano melody from the main menu ( ua-cam.com/video/YLCimWIdgOs/v-deo.html ) even more haunting. It has so much of this quiet sadness that is always in the back of my mind whenever I picture Victorian London. This melody paired with the perilous, dancing combat arrangements are the two sides of the Syndicate soundtrack in my opinion. Truly a master's work!
