This is pretty special! The Nu-Disco kind of strings Monsieur Adi has dropped this gobsmackingly good mash-up between Ellie Goulding’s ‘Guns & Horses’ and Daft Punk’s ‘Make Love’.
This is one of those occasions where the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. I haven’t heard a version of ‘Guns 7 Horses’ that highlights the real beauty in Eliie’s voice as well as it is showed off here. I love her vocals anyway, but in Adi’s hands there almost become an instrument, one of his beloved strings.
Frankmusik has been giving away songs these past couple of weeks, over at freefrankmusic.com and his latest offering is an epic, namedropping, tribute to Daft Punk.
‘Our Discovery’ is a mash up of Daft Punk song titles and Riffs into one awesome DiscoPop tune that revels in the pure joy of being a Daft Punk fan and perfectly captures the excitement of the turn of the century. All this is wrapped up into a soulful ElectroPop song that is built (by robots?) to get you dancing.
You can’t move these days for reMixes of tracks from Daft Punk’s Tron:Legacy soundtrack, and quite honestly most of them are shit, which is a pity as the album itself is a work of art. Many people seemed shocked and upset that it didn’t sound like a new Daft Punk album but, really, what did they expect, it’s a soundtrack! If, like us, you dig soundtracks you’ll find Daft Punks OST an amazing mix of emotive score and electronics.
Anyway, here are a couple of actually really good reMixes that have come our way. DJ DLG drops a big noisy house mix of ‘Fall’ that could quite easily be massive on the dancefloor while still holding on to those strings to create a level of tension. Paris Electro guru DJ Aurélien Vialet gets ADD on ‘Derezzed’ creating tightly structured Electro choas. I’m still deciding about this kind of all-over-the-place Electro-House, sometimes it just sounds lazy, but when it’s done well, like Aurélien, it really rocks!
So, this is the official music video for Daft Punk’s ‘Derezzed’ from their Tron: Legacy soundtrack.
And I love it, it’s quite a nice little prequel to the movie, the style and graphics being part original Tron and part Tron: Legacy, It’s obviously set inbetween movies. The plot seems to feature Olivia Wilde’s character, Quorra, while she was still a player on the game grid.
If you’re going to make a movie tie-in video having both a nice little tie in plot and loads of homagé to the original Tron is a good way to go.
Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December, not long now! Who gonna’ be there opening day?
Projection Mapping is an awesome looking technique where images are projected onto a the flat surface of a building to make it appear 3D stuff is happening.
This technique has been put to it’s full use in a 9 minute Tron: Legacy show on the side of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London set to Daft Punk’s stunning soundtrack.
Give it a watch!
The performance was created using 6x18k projectors with audio from an 8k D&B sound rig.
Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December, seems like so long to wait! Daft Punk’s soundtrack is released tomorrow!
Well, part music video, part promo reel, part Tron Legacy trailer set to Daft Punk’s soundtrack piece ‘Derezzed’.
What we’ve heard of the soundtrack so far sounds amazing and this video, not only features loads of new footage from the movie, but also give us our first on-screen glimpse of Guy and Thomas in their roles as ‘mp3 files’ (read DJs) in the movie.
I love the way the soundtrack had lots of contemporary action movie signatures, but weaving in and out of them are phrases of analog synths or distorted drums, seems like a perfect blend of score and electronics.
Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December. Both the movie and Daft Punk’s soundtrack are so highly anticipated here it’s not even funny. December can’t come soon enough!
So, after many false starts and fakes (although the last batch of leaked tracks I was sent seem to have turned out to be real) we finally have an officially released piece from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack and also a first look at how Guy and Thomas will look in their roles as ‘mp3 files’ (read DJs) in the movie.
Two slices of awesomeness hit the internet in the last few days. First up, soon after the Tron: Legacy panel at San Diego ComicCon, yesterday, the new theatrical trailer for Tron Legacy débuted online.
And it looks rad as hell!!!
Secondly, in the last couple days a few people have sent me tracks from Daft Punk’s soundtrack to the movie. These are defiantly legit, as many of the six tracks contain sections from the trailers we have seen. After some digging around, I think these have been ripped out the backend of the official Disney site.
I was debating putting all six tracks up here but then thought, ‘well, I wouldn’t put up six tracks of any album so why is this any different?’. If you really want all six they’ll be all over the internet by now but I wanna’ try and save myself hearing any more until I can hear it in 320kbps or CD quality because those tracks I have heard are amazing! Serious contender for best electronic soundtrack since BladeRunner. The way the orchestration and electronic meld together is truly masterful, even in so much as Daft Punk’s choice of sounds that seem to flow out of the strings.
Tron fans following the viral marketing campaign promoting the upcoming sequel to 1982’s Tron, Tron Legacy, have unlocked a secret site at http://www.program-glitch-esc.net/ that has HD version of the new, second, trailer ahead of it’s ‘proper’ online début later this week.
Looks pretty fantastic, no? And is that Daft Punk’s soundtrack we can hear in the second half of the trailer? Pulsing synths, distorted drums, sounds good to me!
Being actually in the trailer, I pretty sure we can assume it’s not a fake this time! 😉
