4P: How do you know when music is necessary or not? When is music necessary to make the game experience more thrilling? When is silence more suspenseful?

JK: There are no set rules for this equation. Sometimes it’s good to build up tension by using music and then right before something scary happens remove the music altogether. Other times the game gets more cinematic if music is suddenly added after a break in the music. I do a lot of experimentation to find the best ways of blending silence and music.

4P: Is it different to develop music for the consoles (PS2, Xbox, GC) as for PC?

JK: Technically speaking, there are different limitations on the hardware, with surround capabilities that vary with each of the different consoles. Generally, I end up writing wave files that have to be implemented separately on the different platforms. For me it’s more about coming up with ideas to work within these limitations, and how to mix several music tracks together and make the experience as smooth as possible. I take these ideas and implement them directly into the writing process and structure of the track.

The Freedom Fighters Soundtrack is a interesting mixture of choir, electronica and orchestral music.

4P: In Freedom Fighters you choose a very interesting and alternative mixing of electronica, orchestral music and choir. How the publisher or developer reacts on this cool mixture? How the idea about this unconventional mixture comes along?

JK: I was given complete creative freedom by the developer to come up with something different. Manhattan being invaded by a Soviet Superpower fits well with the sound of a choir singing in Russian. We also used the choir to add heroic elements to the story, for TV newscasts, and when a character blows up an object of significance.
 
Regarding the electronic elements, I wanted to add these to make it an intense action score. Also, electronic music works well with the alternate future setting.

4P: What can we expect in the future from Jesper Kyd?

JK: There will be a Hitman orchestral suite performed live at the 2004 GC-Games Convention concert in Leipzig this August. I am also working on several new game and film projects, but I can’t talk about these just yet. Sorry! :-)

Thank you for taking the time for this interview! We wish you good luck for your further compositions.
