I was locked in a room with robots for almost two years and it was simply a lot of hard work. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating: "It seems complicated at the end of the day, but it’s actually quite simple. The orchestra was conducted by Gavin Greenaway. The band collaborated with him for two years on the score, from pre-production to completion. Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese, who stated he is a fan of Daft Punk as a duo and as solo artists. Kosinski stated that the score is intended to be a mixture of orchestral and electronic music. The score of Tron: Legacy features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. Noé had asked Bangalter to compose the soundtrack to the film Enter the Void, but Bangalter was working on Tron: Legacy at the time and instead served as sound effects director. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the soundtrack to Gaspar Noé's 2002 film Irréversible. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score.When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" The film producers initially attempted to reach Daft Punk in 2007, but the duo had been unavailable due to their Alive 2006/2007 tour. It is the first film score by French music duo Daft Punk.

On Tron: Legacy, Daft Punk had everything going against them: unrealistically high expectations, the usual soundtrack album trappings, the fact that they might actually be robots. Throughout the album, the marriage of electronics and symphony proves fruitful and surprisingly emotional. After a strong orchestral overture and “The Grid,” which features a brooding, corny monologue from the film’s star Jeff Bridges, we’re treated to “The Son of Flynn,” a masterfully brief yet tantalizing synth metropolis. There’s not much point in differentiating the tracks since all 22 pieces flow almost seamlessly with the same textural template: orchestral arrangements (heavy on the woodwinds) augmented with their trademark, gloriously recorded sequenced synthesizers. For Daft Punk, the funky French house duo responsible for some of the decade’s most memorable electronic/pop crossovers (particularly the euphoric “One More Time” and the vocoder-driven, Kanye West-pilfered bricolage “Harder Better Faster Stronger”), the challenge appears even more daunting.įortunately Tron:Legacy is, amazingly, the duo’s best work in years, going all the way back to their acclaimed 2001 breakthrough, Discovery. It’s possible to produce a soundtrack album that works on its own merits-personally, I wore the hell out of Jon Brion’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind score-but the odds are in no artist’s favor. We all know the rub about film scores-even the most thrilling (like Jonny Greenwood’s inventive, breathtaking music for the Paul Thomas Anderson masterpiece There Will Be Blood) work best when paired with the visuals for which they were specifically written. In a sense, the complaint is justifiable-after releasing only three full-length studio albums over the course of a 13 year career, Daft Punk certainly knows its audience is hungry for the old fashioned goods, and even if the Tron: Legacy soundtrack turned out to be a classic for its genre, there’s no getting around the fact that it’s just simply not a true Daft Punk album. That’s probably what most Daft Punk fans thought after hearing the news that their beloved electronic gods would be composing the score to a big-budget Disney movie.
