Splinter Cell: Double Agent Composers Announced; Main Theme Download
Ubisoft Paris has just revealed that the distinctive orchestra/electronica hybrid style of veteran game composers Sascha Dikiciyan and Cris Velasco will be the latest signature sound for their Splinter Cell franchise. Splinter Cell: Double Agent‘s main theme, as well as all of the game’s cinematics, was scored by the duo.
“Sascha and Cris’ unique style was the perfect match for what we were looking for,” says Sylvain Brunet, Sound Producer for Ubisoft. “The latest episode of the ‘Splinter Cell’ franchise is more emotional than the previous installments. We needed music that would reflect the new dramatic storyline, and this is exactly what Sascha and Cris delivered with their main theme.”
“Ubisoft asked us to provide a score that would match the narrative in the game,” explains Sascha Dikiciyan. “We created a gritty electronica feel with cinematic orchestra to push the emotional side of the game to a new level.”
Dikiciyan and Velasco have reaped critical acclaim for their versatility and fearlessness of pushing the boundaries of music. This has kept Dikiciyan and Velasco in high demand in the videogame industry, and the duo has 12 game scores scheduled for release in 2006 alone.
