Ep. 28 - Daft Punk's 'Tron Legacy'
Score Cue Snapshots!

Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure, Music, FV (Fantasy Violence), PG, 11-Jan-2021
One of our favorite scores of 2010, Daft Punk's music to 'Tron: Legacy' is fun, epic, and full of awesome synth textures that make it very unique. The first film score of the French music duo used an 85-piece orchestra that mixes traditional orchestral music with electronica. The score was orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese and was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media at the 54th Grammy Awards.
There is no question that director Joseph Kosinski's incredible visual style works perfectly with the music, color, and everything in between. Enjoy this one.
