Creation of the score
Because historians do not know what contemporary Ptolemaic Egypt music could have sounded like and can only make assumptions, Schachner decided to merge old and new styles. In her view, this not only reflected a culture deeply tied to its mythology, but also was in keeping with the series' themes of secretive organizations and the near-supernatural.[1][2] Another theme she hoped to convey was the perceived dual nature of the Egyptian deserts as lands home to both nature's exotic beauty and its unforgiving power, as heard in the rough sounds made by an undisclosed string instrument.[2]
As such, Schachner used traditional instruments when creating the score, ranging from the oud, lyres, and various bells and winds,[1] to lutes, rattles, and animal-hide drums,[2] all of which would "bring [the player] back to the sand."[1] Not wanting to retread the stereotypically "Middle Eastern" sounds that were expected,[2] she then ran the recordings through a CS-80 synthesizer in order to give them the air of mystery that pervades Assassin's Creed.[1] As a result, Origins' ambient tracks are moodier than music used in previous games, but are perfectly complimentary given Origins' apparent mytho-historical setting and Bayek's more mature outlook on life due to having been a Medjay for many years.[2]
Trivia
- Schachner not only composed all the music, she also performed it and provided the vocals for the track "Ezio's Family (Origins version)".[1]
