00:00The emotions I was trying to convey with Ezio's family theme really connects with who Ezio is as a person.
00:06The way he was thrown into the life of being an assassin when his father was killed.
00:10I felt it was such a big part of the main character that I needed to write a theme to
00:15really understand Ezio.
00:17Writing historical music for Assassin's Creed is a tricky thing because when we started working on Assassin's Creed 2,
00:23one of the first things we discussed was that the music couldn't be too inspired by the Renaissance to a
00:29point where the music would perhaps become a little bit too realistic
00:34or maybe not exciting enough for the story arc that Ezio goes through.
00:38It needed something extra. It needed modern elements mixed with the Renaissance.
00:43So it clearly sounded like we're being transported to the Renaissance, but at the same time it has a modern
00:49aesthetic.
00:50We're still playing a video game, of course.
