Written
and performed by French electronic duo Daft Punk, the film score for the movie
"Tron Legacy" will release on November 22. The film will debut on
December 17.
The highly anticipated original motion picture score for TRON: Legacy, composed
and produced by the iconic and critically acclaimed Grammy® Award–winning
French duo Daft Punk, will be released by Walt Disney Records on Monday, November
22, 2010. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™, Walt Disney Pictures’
“TRON: Legacy” hits U.S. theaters on December 17, 2010, in Disney
Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.
Having grown up with admiration of Disney’s groundbreaking original 1982
film “TRON,” Daft Punk took on the scoring of the next chapter of
the story with extraordinary thought and precision. The duo assembled a symphony
of one hundred world class musicians in London and recorded the orchestra at
AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain’s premier scoring facility.
From Daft Punk’s first single release in 1993, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo
and Thomas Bangalter were hailed as a new breed of electronic music innovators.
Following their seminal debut in 1997 (Homework), the band went on to release
two more studio albums (Discovery-2001, Human After All-2005) and two live albums
(Alive 1997, Alive 2007), winning them both critical and popular acclaim throughout
the world. Daft Punk are known as much for their music and technical innovation
as their groundbreaking and elaborate visual universe, which centers around
their irrepressible and mysterious Robot personas. In 2006, their directorial
art house film debut, “Daft Punk’s Electroma,” premiered at
the Cannes Film Festival and in 2007 they toured internationally with a jaw-dropping
live show that was an awe-inspiring combination of their musical and visual
prowess. Their collaboration with Kanye West on his #1 hit single “Stronger”
was hailed as “The Song of the Year” by SPIN Magazine (January 2008
issue), which also saw Daft sharing the cover with Kanye, having been awarded
“Tour of the Year” by the magazine. Daft Punk performed with West
on the Grammy Awards in 2008, marking the mercurial duo’s first and only
television appearance anywhere in the world. “TRON: Legacy” will
mark Daft Punk’s first film score.
