       | so much for writing it up and sharing it.

       | I've seen clips of them using the more esoteric electronic
       | instruments like the Lyra 8 and the Resonant Garden, which may
       | explain some of the interesting and uncommons-sounding FX you
       | hear in their work.

       | Fun fact, Trent and Atticus are still scoring films, most
       | recently Pixar's Soul! It's a great soundtrack[0] that has a
       | number of jazz tracks contributed by Jon Batiste as well as
       | Reznor and Ross's synth pieces. Fair warning, it's a very
       | different vibe compared to Social Network, much more relaxed and
       | atmospheric. I particularly recommend the track Falling, which
       | plays during the opening credits sequence after the main
       | character dies (if you haven't watched Soul, this isn't the
       | spoiler you think it is lol. You should watch Soul, it's great)

         | Atticus also scored the soundtrack behind the television series
         | _Dr Death_, and it was similarly excellent.

       | Still the best coding soundtrack.
       | 
       | Need more like this.

         | Yep. As soon as I hear the opening melody in Hand Covers
         | Bruise, I know I'm about to start typing and not look up for 3
         | hours.

         | Yeah it's good for that. The Ghosts albums and Quake soundtrack
         | are more works in that style from them.

       | For fellow TR-AR fans, I would love your opinion on a piece I
       | made in the style of Social Network:
       | https://soundcloud.com/functionform/after-all-the-cake-and-w....
       | It was made for a for-fun contest where you use one plugin to
       | produce all the sounds. This concludes my self-promotion!

         | Just to add another data point, I really like it! I'm an
         | enormous fan of the Social Network's soundtrack and I feel you
         | really captured the feel and sound that some of its pieces give
         | (obviously particularly the main theme).
         | 
         | Would love to add it to some of my Spotify playlists if you're
         | on there (but I very much understand if you're only on
         | Soundcloud).

         | Not a musician, so I don't really have the proper vocabulary,
         | but- as a fan of industrial specifically (and electronic music
         | in general) and as a writer, this has a really nice balance of
         | texture and atmosphere. I could see it being incorporated with
         | visuals and other elements of design/sensory experience for a
         | cerebrally lush creative project. It was nice to listen to,
         | thanks for sharing.
