Later, he raps: ' Somebody tell me what's real / I don't know how I feel.' 'Computerized' was originally intended to be a single to appear in and promote Tron: Legacy, but was discarded after concerns of the lyrical content being too grounded to fit the film. Jay-Z takes on the role of a Luddite in the lyrics, complaining about holding conversations over text messages and having a ' broken heart on the email' and ' an iTouch but I can't feel'. It tells a cautionary tale about relying too much on technology, with robotic voice singing ' Everyone will be computerized' in the chorus.

De Homem-Christo concluded that Tron: Legacy 'was cut to the music. It has a real visionary quality to it.' Bangalter recalled that he had composed heroic themes for the protagonists, while de Homem-Christo had written the darker musical cues. 'Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first will not be erased by the new one. De Homem-Christo also stated that Tron was a strong influence on him as a child. Ĭommenting on the Tron: Legacy score, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo commented that 'We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine.' Daft Punk cited Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film, as inspiration for the soundtrack as well as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre. It was a continual translation between the two worlds and hopefully we put something together that will be something different because of that. We were just together working throughout the whole process and there was never a point where the orchestra was not in their minds and the electronics were not in my mind. I was locked in a room with robots for almost two years and it was simply a lot of hard work. It seems complicated at the end of the day, but it’s actually quite simple. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating: 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. 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. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score.
