[edit] Category?

Should Jesper Kyd be in, Category:Danish composers, as well, or he naturalized American? Siyavash 21:16, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess I just made this decision, before seeing this question. :) I filed him under "Danish" because he became (IMO) a notable composer before moving to the U.S. I would consider someone "Danish-American" if they moved to and became a citizen of the U.S. before establishing their career. Could argue for the latter, I suppose. --Vossanova o< 13:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree he should be categorized under Danish composers. Se for example Hans Zimmer who lives in Los Angeles and is notable for his career in Hollywood. He is listed as German composer. Tranqulizer 15:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There's a whole back story to Jesper, including his involvement in the Commodore Amiga demo scene as part the coding group Silents in the early 90's which is not mentioned in this article. 212.159.16.124 13:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hitman movie

Just a curious aside - I noticed Kyd had no involvement in the score of Hitman the movie's music (from what I've read so far). Considering how Kyd's music has impacted the Hitman series, I found his lack of presence in the movie noticeable and maybe worthy of commentary. 192.206.151.130 (talk) 14:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Good idea, ill have a look for info. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 01:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New pages

Im going to begin creating pages for his scores, connecting them all together with a chronology and create a navbox for all of his works. Right now im cleaning up and sorting out the few existing score articles for his work such as Unreal Tournament 3 and Kane & Lynch that others have made but not done properly; obviously their contributions are appreciated though. thanks ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 04:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Navbox et cetera

Just created

Will add more score pages and stuff to augment it, also some .ogg audio samples to spruce it all up a bit :) feel free to discuss the template and any additions in the discuss section for it. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 19:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: Also added more external links to good interviews, a quote section and the wiki project banners at the top of the talk page to hopefully get this page moving better. :) ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 01:22, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
