For some movies, the music is as much of a character as the figures we see on screen. In the case of the three installments of Tron, the score represents one of the most core elements. Whether Wendy Carlos’ work in the original 1982 film, Daft Punk’s and Joseph Trapanese’s contributions for Tron: Legacy, or what we heard from Nine Inch Nails for Tron: Ares, each is a product of their time and also has an amazing ability to envelop us. Today on Notably Disney host Brett Nachman brings on Jonathan Goodman of the Music Behind the Magic podcast to talk about the Tron scores!
