Who Should be the Tron 3 soundtrack composer?

on Thursday, October, 20, 2011 2:52 AM
Hi,
I'm new to this website. I have been a fan of Tron since I saw the original as a boy, and in my teens had a good run with Discs of Tron(sadly all the arcades are gone now). I also happen to be a fan of electronic music, and I adore the soundtracks to both Tron and Tron: Legacy.
Wendy Carlos was an innovator of synth music, and Daft Punk are definitely at the forefront of that now.
Before it was announced that Daft Punk would be scoring the film, I think I was hoping for something more esoteric, more like the original in style, atmospheric and not so charged up. However, now I think Daft Punk were a perfect choice and composed a beautiful soundtrack.
So, on to the matter in my subject line.. who would you folks like to see score the third movie?
I would vote for Amon Tobin. He has done a few video game soundtracks, and seems to really compose for cinematic atmospheres. His recent music is very inventive when it comes to sound-design.
Here's a clip from his recent live show which I think shows how naturally his music would suit the world of Tron, followed by a link to a song on his latest record:

I though Daft Punk's soundtrack was epically (is that spelled right?) awesome so I would pick them for Tron 3.

They may use Daft Punk again out of simplicity, applicability, popularity, and downright epicness.
But at the same time, I kind of wonder what it cost to have them do it and to have them repeat it afresh. I have no doubt it would be more the second time around. Will the 3rd bring in more coin, is likely the question that would come next.

But you bring this Amon Tobin to my eyes.
That is a most excellent light show! And the music is even good to boot.
I wager he has what it takes for the grid.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

My first choice is Daft Punk by a loooooooooong way. But I wouldn't be very disappointed if Tobin scored Tron 3.

Daft Punk - no doubt.
They made one of the most intense and memorable soundtracks of the past 10 years and one of the best-selling soundtrack CDs.
The soundtrack pushed Legacy in its weak parts and actually everyone loves the score - even if one does not like the film.

If it isn't Daft Punk, I would be seriously dissapointed. If they hired any other electronic artist, he probably wouldn't write all those amazing parts for orchestra and violin that the French robots would obviously repeat.

The only that could make TR3N's soundtrack any better (for me at least) aside from Daft Punk, Is if Wendy Carlos was collaborating, or writing some of the main themes.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I enjoyed Daft Punk's score. They managed to balance what is typical of their techno work (songs such as Derezzed is a good example) while expanding into some interesting orchestra work that was pretty awesome in its own right (such as tracks like "Flynn Lives" and, my personal favorite, "Finale").

Honestly, it's a good thing that both members of Daft Punk worked on the score. I've listened to Thomas Bangalter work on the movie Irreversible, and it was pretty interesting but it was really dark and best fit the subject matter of the film.

The drawback of using Daft Punk again is that many people think that they were riffing off of Hans Zimmer's work on Inception when it came to the music of T:L (which I don't see how, as Zimmer himself stated he tried to take something that was analog and make it sound digital, while Daft Punk has always done digital and has made it sound interesting).abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

As stated before, I'd vote for DP again for sure, but I've also come out strongly in favor of two guest tracks: DeadMau5 (I'm so-so on some of his stuff, but there's some I can absolutely imagine on the Grid-- there's even a track in the film that makes me think of his work) and Eric Whitacre (who is a choral composer but writes otherworldly music that would fit in well, has experience in electronica and in films scores FOR a Disney film, and could use the Virtual Choir [a concept he invented where individual singers all over the world video themselves singing their own voice part and it's edited together into a choir of people who will never meet in person] for recording, which would be perfect for a computer movie).

I really don't see a point in switching from DP when they did such a great job. Besides, using them for the third film will keep a cohesiveness between the soundtracks of the two, and they'd be fools not to keep that basic theme anyway.

(However, re: orchestration: I see in the credits on the soundtrack that they did NOT do all of their own orchestration, as there is a credit for "Music arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapenese" and "Orchestration Consultant: Bruce Broughton." I don't know how much of it they did do-- it could range from "they did none of it and just brought basic piano-based [or similar] themes to be filled out" to "they did almost all of it and just had help"-- so I'm not willing to praise them on that aspect unless we can find out. They did an awesome job on the actual composition, and I would think they'd have had some input on the orchestration, but it was not all them. This Trapenese guy may have had a huge hand in making it sound as awesome and epic as it did. I just need to put that out there.)order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I would be totally pleased if Daft Punk was back with Tron 3, but I feel slightly doubtful about that happening. Also, since they changed composers between the first and second movie, I feel like it would be appropriate to keep things fresh and different. Although, if there is another movie, I imagine it will be closer in tone with Legacy than the original.
I guess I partly want to see a new composer because if it stays the same, it's kinda like a new series, with the original film being like a prequel, and if they keep moving forward with new sounds and images, it doesn't place emphasis away from the first film. Know what I mean?
I also really like the idea of getting Wendy Carlos involved.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Everyone to their opinion, but be friendly about it. And since the original was made in 1982 I would hope they would get a new composer! It would sound very outdated today!

If for some reason Daft Punk couldn't do it, I think Justice could do a serviceable job (especially after hearing songs from their new album).

Hell, I'd definitely go for a collaboration of the two.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Pardon me if I came off as unfriendly, it was unintentional.
I'm not saying I'd expected them to keep Wendy Carlos, I'm just saying that.. the second movie was like a move in a new direction, and if Daft Punk does the third movie then it creates sort of a stronger continuity between films 2 & 3. But then that could be fitting since there will be less of a time-gap between them(hopefully!).

In response to other posts- Justice and Deadmau5 are pretty cool too.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Continuity is key if they're doing sequels in the vein of LOTR, Matrix, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. Massive changes in tone aren't conducive to a coherent narrative.

"Moving ahead" in musical theme is natural for a sequel separated by almost 3 decades, I'd hate for them to change it again in such a short time. I think DP did a great job at tying it back to the first Tron and I don't see how sticking with them alienates the new series from its founding movie.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I'll try to explain myself- I worry that if the 3rd movie is too similar to the 2nd, then it's like a sequel to Tron Legacy, instead of a "threequel" to the first movie.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I think Daft Punk should be used to maintain consistency, but that's mostly due to the style of the sound. I don't think they should be choosing random big-name DJs to do the soundtrack. Needless to say, I was a little worried about how Daft Punk's soundtrack for Legacy would turn out until I heard it. Film soundtracks and listening music are two entirely different categories. Daft Punk managed to succeed, and they've proven themselves as effective soundtrack producers.

Though if Tron 3 were to take place in a different computer system, it would definitely have to have a different style of sound to it, if that makes sense. It could be like comparing a song from a World War II game to that of a modern warfare game. Both are great on their own, but they aren't exactly interchangeable.

Again, I think Daft Punk would be good for keeping consistency, buy that's not necessarily a good thing if the visual style of the computer world is completely original. Assuming Tron 3 goes into the Encom system, we're going to be in a completely different computer system that is up-to-date, as opposed to The Grid, which was essentially a world that stopped developing in 1989 when Flynn was trapped inside. It can be assumed that a modern corporate mainframe would look much different, and as such, a different musical style would be necessary to further enforce the fact that we're in a different world than The Grid.

I've been going under the assumption that Tron 3 will take us back to the Encom system. If Daft Punk can pull something off that fits the Encom system, then that's great. They did a great job of "personifying", in a sense, the dark and dangerous atmosphere of The Grid with their score for Legacy. As far as other choices go, Nathan Grigg did a great job with the Tron 2.0 soundtrack, and created something that fit the various worlds Jet went through while still managing to sound reminiscent of the original Tron's soundtrack. As far as big name composers go, Harry Gregson-Williams has done some pretty great stuff that sounds moderately electronic (Metal Gear Solid 2 comes to mind). There's also Wendy Carlos, but I don't know if she's still composing film soundtracks or alive for that matter.

Hans Zimmer is another pretty big-name film composer, and while I think he's definitely earned that big-name status, I don't know if he'd be right for Tron. He sports a much more orchestra-focused style that fits big action military shooter movies/games. Put him in a blender with robots and you get Tron Legacy's soundtrack, though, so who knows. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

I know what you meant, I also don't see how that's going to work without disorienting the story, ironically. T:L was obviously written to pass the torch from Flynn to Sam, but I don't think the story is in any risk of forgetting its roots.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

I think by giving us one pleasant surprise, Daft Punk has earned the right to try and give us another one by showing they can take their style to yet another direction. I think it's a bit premature to assume they'll bring back more of the same if they're signed on again.

I do not think it would be a good idea to just take the new main theme of T:L and just alter it a bit.
Even the main theme has to progress, if it is not THAT catchy as ... let's say BTTF.
The main theme in the original TRON was way better and unique. The Legacy main melody was not.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the Legacy score and I still listen to it every day. Though the main melody was not the best of its kind. It actually were just three notes changing to the chords. Maybe that was the big reason why the score did not win a lot of prices and nominees.

If TRON, RAM and even Flynn return in Tron 3, I'd like to hear a crossover between the old main melodyby Wendy and the new theme by DP. Would be awesome!
