The Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (OST) or Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory - The Soundtrack To Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is a video game soundtrack produced by Amon Tobin and Jesper Kyd for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. The official soundtrack released with 10 on CD and 2xLP Vinyl plus 11 tracks on DVD Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Soundtrack.
Album Information[]
The album consists of a collection of songs that Tobin wrote for Ubisoft's video game, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Ubisoft was so pleased with Tobin's work that they decided to release the album several months ahead of the actual game.
Technically speaking, the album is not a soundtrack. In the game, each track is split into individual components that are independently layered over one another to correspond with a player's actions. Thus, none of the songs on the album would ever be heard in the game except in small fragments.
This album showcased the beginning Tobin's shift from collecting samples from vinyl records to recording his own samples. For the recording of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Splinter Cell 3 Soundtrack, Tobin hired a live band whose members ranged from Mexican composer Nacho Mendez to Japanese flutist Eiji Miyake. Seminal composer Jesper Kyd was also hired to score the games cinematics.
