Behind The Music of Assassin's Creed 2.

[@cHevvv1]

Bro casually created the theme song of an entire franchise

[@czatij]

Composers when composing 🤯🤯

[@TheMockingjay74]

Altair/Connor/Edward/Arno/Jacob and Evie be like... I mean how did one guy define a series?

[@j.avaldes9856]

For an entire era of gaming. Hearing this music takes me straight back to 2009.

[@El_Bellota]

Assassin's Creed 2 sound track is an absolute master piece.

[@SpiderMan-kk7qy]

FACT

[@cool12191]

Understatement ❤

[@Dark_Embracer]

The Music was also part of the success for the Assassin's Creed 2 Game. Very talented people worked on this Game and made it a success.

[@francisnowak11]

massive part

[@UltraManager]

Thank you Jesper Kyd.

[@walterreynoldsthefourhundr819]

There's a reason most, if not all of the later games have some musical callback to Ezio's Family. Jesper Kyd is masterful at what he does.

[@Cascope]

Thank you for giving us a soundtrack that elevated the Ezio games and defined the whole AC franchise

[@karthikyamotwani4290]

You created a masterpiece every single soundtrack in this game is a masterpiece

[@pulkitkush113]

Venice Rooftops still catch me off guard to this day, this man is a living treasure.

[@gjram8807]

After all these years.. the music stands tall against the test of TIME.. and it will continue to do so..! Thank you Maestro Kyd... for all that you have done for this gaming community! U r a treasure!

[@Kojiclipping]

This cue from Dream of Venice 0:24 is so dreamy and beautiful, I wish you could release it maybe so we can listen this part on loop :)

[@NeoTriicck]

I second this!

[@stiks00]

As an Italian, when I played assassin's creed II I was immediately immersed by the music, it was perfect, it felt nostalgic, like I had heard it before, it represented the environment perfectly. Congratulations Jesper for this masterpiece that you left us with for years ❤

[@b3standre95]

Ezio Auditore ce l’abbiamo noi ❤️

[@ninomorales1675]

I'm re installing my Assassin's Creed II now

[@sierrablazemumbai]

Thank you for creating the anthem for Ezio, for my youth, and for the millions of fans worldwide across generations. Mr. Kyd, you are a gem.

[@Nexist]

This is my fav soundtrack of all time. Thank you for working on Assassin's creed 2.

[@WlaceWho]

I've been listening to the soundtrack for 13 years now. When I need to calm down, and to fall asleep, and just as beautiful music while I go shopping. A few years ago there were new releases that weren't included in the game (Earth with vocals and others), but then I heard a half-minute masterpiece from the game files (I think) and now I dream that something else old or new will come out.

[@P.Ripper]

Where can I find those new releases you mention? i've been listening to them for more than a decade now and learnt to play the violin and I love playing some excerpts of them

[@WlaceWho]

@P.Ripper "Assassin's Creed 2: Rare Tracks" and sliderv2 channel on KZbin. Dataminers music from many games, incl. AC2

[@alfio61]

Thank you Jesper: your tracks touched our souls

[@pawaramedaka2339]

That's what I call a masterpiece

[@amolsharma3413]

I remember this theme playing when ezio was racing his brother to the roof! This game was my childhood

[@Celis.C]

I have played games with amazing tracks, from World of Warcraft, to Final Fantasy XIV, to Monster Hunter and NieR and so many more. Yet the music of AC2 will never fail to rekindle that flame, to spark that nostalgia, to feel like coming home. It is 100% up there as the best music I've ever heard in ANY media. Thank you so much for this glimpse behind the scenes!

[@kukita2702]

I love assassin's creed and It's soundtrack is Legendary... It's an Absolute Master Piece (Ezio the Legendary Assassin)

[@TheFirenze114]

The Assassin's creed series is such a fundamental part of my childhood, AC2 will forever remain one of my favorite games and Ezio my favorite character. The soundtrack always brings me back to a happier time. Thank you, Jesper, for creating this masterpiece of a soundtrack that'll always be near and dear to my heart.

[@platinoir]

I still remember to this day the time I went to the games shop and came out with assassin's creed 2 copy. I remember I went home eagerly and played the game in one sitting until I reached the villa that day. I fell in love with Italy, Ezio, the music, and everything I felt for ezio and wanted to see his story and revenge through

[@artemkomonov6578]

Jesper, I was grown on your music for this part. I was 14 when I heard it. This music associates me with my first girlfriend and pure love. Today, I am 25, and when I was in Venice a year ago, I almost cried when I played your music with Venice environment in the background. Especially I love the vocal part, man's vocal part. Thank you Jesper you changed me. It means you changed lots of people. It means you changed the world. Thank you

[@RoniAmikam]

Will never stop loving this game, this soundtrack, and the original cast, developers, and Jesper himself Unmatched for me to this day, with AC:B too Jesper you've created a track that I listen to 15 years later and I feel nostalgia that matches very little other emotions I have, Thank you SO MUCH!

[@veljkotasic6065]

GEM of the game !

[@alastor9525]

jesper you can no longer carry the franchise alone ubisoft has messed it up my dear lord of themes what remains are the emotions you gave us with your music and fine taste of nostalgia

[@Dd-fb2tj]

A legend. Please keep creating soundtracks to the assassin's creed games....your music genuinely is one of the greatest parts of the experience.... "sanctuary" and "flight over Venice" are another 2 of my all time favourites

[@alsifjlasieflooo]

Recently replayed the game again. If anything, my love for it only grew deeper. The music plays a big role in that for me. I listen to it outside of the game as well. FANTASTIC job mate!

[@KSOLTS]

'Ezio's family' is one of my favorite from the score. Congratulations!

[@imtheitchyouneedtoscratch]

Amen 🙏

[@STEF88988]

I still listen to the Assassins Creed II soundtrack. It was and still is one of the best scores I’ve ever heard - you brought Assassins Creed to a whole new level, amazing how modern and unique it was, yet retaining that feeling of being in Italy during the renaissance. Bravo Jesper, bravo!!!

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

Assassins creed II still has some of the best music scores in gaming

[@game_is_life380]

Memory Maker, We love you 😊❤️

[@Nick_Harrell80]

Such an iconic soundtrack

[@odd6554]

I've continously lisdtened to AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations OSTs. Never heard anything like them again. Very special music

[@gigaheheboi]

Assassin's creed 2 is the GOAT! The music and theme is so good. Truely a Masterpiece!

[@braedenhogencamp1325]

I think that while altier was the first one and how the game started, Ezio made assassins creed what it was and why I've held out so much hope that ac will return to its older roots. you're my favorite composer, and honestly the only one whos name I really remember, you made my childhood sir. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@RekeikoYT]

2:54 - 3:20 Best video game scenes and dialog and best music intro I've ever experienced. Thank you Ubisoft and Jesper Kyd

[@bucsa104]

Nothing is true, everything is permitted. This soundtrack made me love this franchise. You are a legend. You have my respect🦾

[@thilak2317]

Jesper Kyd, thank you for creating one of the best gaming experiences ever. Your work in Assassin's creed is nothing short of a miracle.

[@billymays-onnaisemcgee9159]

You are my musical hero and made me truly appreciate music and gaming and media as a whole. I’ve been focusing on how music has changed my opinion on so many game franchises after assassins creed and how it’s enhanced those experiences ever since. Thank you for your work.

[@prasannav]

You are the GOAT according to me. your music elevated AC series to another level, till now I have AC, AC2, AC3 and ACB, ACR in my playlist. I bought all those games because of your Music. Also thank you for your music in Tumbbad. It is such a privilege to hear your music. Thank you so much. Keep coming.

[@saivivekm.v2411]

My favourite ost in any game, one my favourite music directors chose my favourite track in the Ost to speak about first. Dreams of Venice is amazing and today cant get any better. I am emotional right now❤❤❤❤❤

[@yungkfs2554]

Thank you Jesper! Your creations will always hold a special place in our hearts.

[@AngryHoplite]

Thanks. Now im crying again. Dreams of Venice is an absolute Masterpiece!

[@zer0Bala001]

I did not realize I was still listening to a 15 years old OST from my favorite game of all time. Congrats on the epic work with it! I am a huge fan of your work ever since.

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Thank you for blessing my ears with the greatest soundtrack in any video game ever!

[@skyllalarson1634]

[@newhybrid101]

*Gets fn hanged

[@AMARBOYHEL]

Man this is making me tear up! You music is so special and pure. I don’t have a music degree or know much about the theory but i feel touched everytime i visit the soundtrack of these games. I usually would play them when i’m editing footage or smoking and they hit me everytime man!

[@AMARBOYHEL]

I actually never played the game myself but watched my brother play it.

[@Kojiclipping]

just in time for me to listen to your AC 2 soundtrack for the past few days, Thank you so much for filling our childhood with such beautiful works!!

[@andreirudzei6184]

Everyone here is talking about Ezio's Family or other great songs from AC2. But I must say, that my favourite track from all games(not only AC Series) it's Echoes of the Roman Ruins from AC:B. Thank you, mister!

[@Delicatamente]

Jesper, thank you for all your work. I grown on your music as a kid, and always loved it. Now as a adult who work with music by myself I can truly see how genious and original you are in musiccraft. Now I just can see it from different, more professional, perspective and this is incredible. Thank you again, maestro!

[@sonicalxxx]

Thank you for creating these amazing soundtracks, they always accompany me when I need calm and serenity 😄😊

[@jormdeworm]

AC2 has such beautiful music, you did an awesome job Jesper!

[@marek3435]

AC2 is best Part of AC with best Music! Thank you! 👏👏👏

[@Fouad.Chaouki]

Music has always been a language, a way of communication, thank you sir Jesper

[@NeoTriicck]

I love Assassin's Creed 2, but this soundtrack has completely transcended the videogame for me. I listen to songs from the soundtrack practically daily. My favorite will always be Home In Florence, something about it just fills me with curiosity and wonder, and it truly allows me to dream. Thank you for this wonderful gift, JesperKyd! 🙂

[@nabins52]

Thank you Jesper. I’ve always wondered the behind the scenes. It would have been cool if you had shown us the process as well for specific tracks. I still play this game every year. My childhood is locked inside this game. Thank you again.

[@pasindulakshansac222]

So this is how Ezio's family became the anthem of the whole franchise. Truely a masterpiece 😍

[@moreshi6017]

Can’t thank Jesper enough. The profound impact the game, and the soundtrack had on me. I used to listen to the soundtrack for comfort in my room alone in bed, I used to feel inspired by Ezio, I used to FEEL the soundtrack. Just don’t have the words. Masterpiece.

[@madixSamp]

I'm always listning to your masterclass, i have an ac soundtrack playlist, the soundtrack of assassin's creed is part of the sucess of the game

[@Eltei]

Thank you sir for your amazing job. You’re a part of the AC’s franchise success !

[@tsele7348]

Best of the best , the works you did is totally mythical! Im so glad i got a chance to hear these magnificent soundtracks !

[@AdirBin]

Watching this next to my dog I named Ezio, and taking a break from music production setup. This game and soundtrack changed my life 15 years ago when I first played it. Thank you

[@abrodpearce1770]

Young me:assassins creed is best in my life! Oh i can not wait another great story and gamplay, soundtrack like ezio saga! Now:"How does it feel to live long enough to see all your favorite franchises go down in flames?"

[@Acid_Rebel_]

Thank you JesperKyd

[@FordHoard]

Assassin's Creed II is my favorite AC game, and one of my favorite games of all time! Your music was a huge piece of those memories, Jesper!

[@splinterborn]

Best game soundtrack of the 2000s.

[@ThorntonNoir]

“Someone cooked here.” 🦅🎶

[@iandavidmiller1208]

I love you so much, your music was my childhood!!

[@rezayazdanpanah6783]

Thank you for making such a great memories for us and entire AC franchise

[@Jfkisreallyafk]

My favorite game ever!! Requiescat in pace!

[@anatolykosychenko8038]

Hi Ya & best wishes. SuperB! Thanks for work. Be Happy. Sevastopol/Crimea

[@JAx-dzl-Ezh]

Thank you for all your amazing work. I still listen to OST from Early AC games, Darksiders 2 and Borderlands 2.

[@RunningVandal.]

I've never played AC 2 or any of the game from franchise, but when I hear "Ezio's family" I feel and know there is great story behind it

[@walidheraz3309]

My favorite game of all time

[@Czarpos]

I still get goosebumps from Ezio's Family to this day, it's always a joy to hear it. Thank you Mr Kyd for pouring so much heart and soul into your work.

[@morty4815162342]

You don't know how many times I've revisited your music from the Ezio games. You truly tapped into something divine when creating these scores.

[@Humpelmutz2]

Hej Jesper I wanted to thank you. AC2 was my first entry to the franchise and to this day your music is a big reason why I fell in love with the game. I still listen to your music on a regular basis - mostly at work. You contribution to this franchise is immeasurable.

[@burakctnky395]

You built so much chilhoods ❤

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

You need to do a podcast with The Old Composer guy on KZbin. He reacted to your music and he really found a way to put into words your music, which I've always felt left me speechless. He did one with Marty O'Donnell recently and was some proper original content.

[@k1raoffight3rs90]

Mesmo tendo 15 anos esse continua sendo o melhor Assassin's Creed

[@kisumealvein1023]

hiciste mi adolescencia una magestuosa orquesta, gracias por tanto

[@cibosays]

Still after 15 years AC II is relevant and one of the reasons is Ezio's Family theme, it literally became the entire franchise main theme. That game it's definitely something else, one of my firsts big games that i played on my younger days

[@veljkotasic6065]

Same bro ! This game is special,everything about this game is magical.

[@abdelmalekmalki1375]

you are my favourite composer of all time

[@Demon00756]

you should continue this series, I'm most excited about the music of hitman contracts and bloodmoney

[@creamycat2089]

i was sent back by like 10 years

[@mohammedsalh7492]

Perfect music for a perfect game and protagnist.

[@W4V3R]

15 years has passed and I'm still here contempling and listening what is the AC's II OST. Jesper Kyd reached immortality with such masterpiece. Thank you, sir

[@Z4ki12]

KZbin just casually recommend me this minidoc of ACII and it's fantastic! Thank you Jesper Kyd for this music! You really marked a before and after in the franchise and also in the lives of many of us gamers. We will not forget this amazing work of art!

[@DBGT00]

THE OG THEME
