From his home studio, Hørsholm-born, Burbank, Los Angeles-based BAFTA-winning Danish composer and sound designer JESPER KYD recalls his part in the European demoscene in the '80s and '90s that took him to Boston, New York, and eventually Los Angeles. Jesper revisits his hit franchises Hitman, Assassin's Creed, and Borderlands, and shares thoughts about his more current ventures in film, animation, and live concerts. He also explains how being a composer is being a problem solver. ---------- For today's episode, Jesper Kyd chose François Schuiten's "The Theory of the Grain of Sand" from the series Cities of the Fantastic, from 1992–2009, from the collection of the King Baudouin Foundation in Brussels. https://www.heritage-kbf.be/collection/cities-fantastic ---------- Photographer: Ben Bentley ---------- This conversation with Christian D.
