Video Gaming News - August 2004
San Francisco, CA (August 30, 2004) - Ubisoft today announced that
innovative recording artist Amon Tobin is composing the original soundtrack for
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, scheduled to ship for PC and the Xbox
for Holiday 2004.
From Ubisoft:
Known for his vanguard production and composition work, Tobin uses an
eclectic array of sounds, both electronic and organic, to create unique sonic
landscapes, and excels at conjuring diverse and distinctive musical atmospheres
that range from playful to menacing.
“Music and sounds have always been an extremely important aspect of Splinter
Cell games, and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory will use both in
innovative ways that enhance the sense of immersion and directly affect
gameplay,” said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for Ubisoft. “Ubisoft
always seeks out creative collaborators of the highest quality, and Amon Tobin’s
moody, genre-bending, cutting-edge music is the perfect fit for Tom Clancy’s
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.”
Tobin’s original score will be heard throughout Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos
Theory; he and label Ninja Tune will also be releasing a companion soundtrack CD
featuring extended and re-mastered versions of the themes from the game to
coincide with the release of the game this year, with a limited collectors
edition mixed in 5.1 surround sound planned for release in spring 2005.
“It quickly became clear that Ubisoft was interested in music that completely
intertwined with the overall fabric of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
to an extent that has not been heard before in video games, the development team
members are true perfectionists, and we labored meticulously over every aspect
of the sound design, said Tobin. “No concessions were made that would compromise
the integrity of the soundtrack, and that’s rare in a project of this scale.
