Ubisoft has announced that Austin Wintory is composing the Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate soundtrack, with Austin stating his inspiration for the music are main characters Jacob & Evie. Austin Wintory is well known for his work on flOw and Journey, with the latter really shining the light on him. At the time of release TSA spoke to Austin about his work, and you can read that interview here.
Chamber music of the mid-19th century definitely inspired me, but I did not seek to make the score authentic – at least, aesthetically. One of Lydia’s [Audio Director] wonderful ideas for the game was the incorporation of legitimately authentic folk tunes and hymns into the score, as melodic fragments you constantly stumble upon.
They’re heard throughout London and played by various street performers, so it’s similar to the sea chanties from Assassin’s Creed IV. We saw to it that they bleed rather deeply into the score as well.
You can hear a snippet of Austin’s work in the trailer above, and Syndicate’s soundtrack will be something to listen out for considering his previous work.
