Scores | EP 7 | The Music of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with Sarah Schachner & John Kenny

In this "Beyond Games" mini-series, the extraordinary composers who created the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla soundtrack – Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner, and Einar Selvik –break down five of their favorite tracks from the game. They reveal their secrets and inspirations, and the collaborative spirit that allowed them to write and record nearly six hours of music for the game using both ancient and modern instruments.

American composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Schachner returns to the Assassin’s Creed series as one of the three composers on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In this episode, Schachner discusses her process creating the track “Asgard – Hall of the Aesir” in collaboration with British musician John Kenny. Kenny plays an ancient celtic instrument called the carnyx, which is used in this track to evoke the player’s journey to Asgard, the mythical land of the gods in Norse mythology. Listen to the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Original Game Soundtrack wherever you get your music.
