So is it right to assume that they find dance music less appealing than they once did? “There’s more latitude to experiment with an orchestra than an 808 drum machine and synth.” “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,” he adds, having cited Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre as inspirations. In the past, we have worked with clashing genres like disco and heavy metal, and here we would do it with film scores…this idea of the ultimate retro-futurism.” Whereas you have a Stradivarius that will live for a thousand years. Synths are a very low level of artificial intelligence. But synthesizers that were invented 20 years ago will probably be gone in the next 20. “A cello was there 400 years ago and will still be here in 400 years. Thomas stresses the timelessness of orchestral instruments relative to electronic tools. But it’s not about learning…It’s about learning that it’s just there.” I thought that myself for a long time, until I had listened to so many kinds of music, that one day I just tried it. “The soul and emotion of is so powerful that to like it is so easy – it’s just people think you need to be educated.

“This project is by far the most challenging and complex thing we have ever been involved with,” declares Thomas of their Tron: Legacy soundtrack. The duo are cover stars of the new December 2010 issue of Dazed & Confused, wherein they talk extensively to Rod Stanley about their past, present and future undertakings.
