Biography

Early life and career

Elitsa Alexandrova graduated from the National Academy of Music in Sofia. She began working for Ubisoft in 2007 and first composed the soundtrack for the 2011 video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars.[1]

Assassin's Creed

In a May 2019 interview with WSHU, Alexandrova talked about the double challenge of finalizing the sound design for her two major projects within the Assassin's Creed series, the second expansion for Assassin's Creed: Origins, The Curse of the Pharaohs and Assassin's Creed: Rogue. After her talk at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, she explained how her music evokes a sense of time and place for the two spots—ancient Egypt and 18th-century France. Overall, Alexandrova felt inspired by Baroque music and found it particularly well-suited to the Rogue game. But one needed to exert much effort to make the sound just perfectly authentic for the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC actually to identify ancient Egyptian instruments. She found a linkage between the traditional Bulgarian and the Egyptian ones, notably the Bulgarian kaval and Egyptian ney flutes, about similar making and sound. Alexandrova used the kaval and other traditional instruments for the mysteriousness of ancient Egypt.[2]
