Background
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were chosen to score the third entry in the Tron film series following electronic musician Wendy Carlos's score to Tron (1982) and French house duo Daft Punk's score to Tron:Legacy (2010). [1] Daft Punk had broken up since scoring Legacy,and at the behest of Ares producer Sean Bailey,Reznor and Ross were approached by Tom MacDougall,president of Walt Disney Music,to work on Tron:Ares shortly after completing work on the soundtrack to the film Soul (2020). [1] The duo had not before taken their band's name for a film score in their repertoire spanning over a dozen films, [2] and Disney's request about them being credited as their band was unexpected to them. [1]
Reznor said that he was pressured not only by the expectation of succeeding Carlos and Daft Punk,but also the implications of taking the band name—he quipped that "I wake up at four in the morning slightly more often than I used to,sometimes,getting this film done". [1] While Daft Punk used an orchestra for their score to Legacy,Reznor and Ross did not utilize "one second". They described the sound as "precise and unpleasant at times",though not feeling it was "an atonal,punishing" score. [1] With the inclusion of original songs besides the composed score,Reznor said that a listener could listen to the soundtrack just as they would a conventional Nine Inch Nails album. [1]
