Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, better known to the electronic music world as Daft Punk, are currently enjoying some massive chart success after creating the brilliant soundtrack for Tron: Legacy. Below are some bits of an interview where they talked about the soundtrack's uneasy creation:
"In dance music, we've always tried to combine existing genres -- heavy metal and disco or funk, something that contrasts associations. [For the film], we liked the idea of a dark influence reminiscent of some electronic scores of the '70s. But at the same time, we wanted the scope of classic Hollywood. To mash up those things that usually exist on opposite ends of the spectrum."
The duo also said they have no plans to work on another soundtrack, instead putting focus on their next album:
"Making music for a movie is very humbling," Bangalter said. "We've been working on some of our music concurrently." (They declined to specify touring or album release plans.)
