Kyd also wrote the soundtrack for the action/adventure Darksiders II, notable for being his first entirely non-digital score. He then wrote music for several games in the Assassin's Creed and Borderlands franchise. Kyd then provided a cinematic middle eastern-based score for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. Kyd followed up with Hitman: Blood Money, also performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and Hungarian Radio Choir. He used modern electronica and symphonic and choral music in Hitman: Contracts.
It was described by Film Score Monthly Magazine as " Vangelis on steroids". He recorded the score for the action/adventure Freedom Fighters with the Hungarian Radio choir. He then recorded the soundtrack of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin with 110 musicians of the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and Hungarian Radio Choir. The soundtrack to Hitman: Codename 47 was based on urban soundscapes and ethnic instrumentation. He then worked as a freelance video game musician. Many former Zyrinx members returned to Denmark to start IO Interactive, but Kyd moved to New York City and set up his own sound studio in Manhattan called "Nano studios". Zyrinx dissolved when their game publisher Scavenger went bankrupt. Kyd composed music for two additional Zyrinx titles, Red Zone and Scorcher and the music for two externally developed games, Amok and The Adventures of Batman and Robin for the Sega Genesis. He and others created the computer game developer Zyrinx and a game called Sub-Terrania for the Sega Genesis. Kyd then left the demoscene and started to work as a game musician. Kyd also created and scored the first wild demo, Global Trash 2, together with Mikael Balle. They eventually made the Amiga demoscene production Hardwired.
He and Mikael Balle became members of the demogroup Silents DK, and later started collaborating with a group of coders known as Crionics. Kyd started using computers for composing on a Commodore 64 at age 14, and later an Amiga. Later, he took several years of training in classical guitar, note reading, choir singing and classical composition for piano.
Kyd started playing the piano at an early age.
