As expected, a free five track EP of music from the score of the forthcoming film “The Social Network” has been made available online via Nullco.com. The entire score, which was compiled by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, will see a September 28th release date. For now, a new message from Reznor on the score can be found below:
“This is what Atticus and I have been working on for the last few months. We had a great time working with David Fincher on this and the film turned out excellent – something we’re very proud of. It opens in theatres Oct 1 and you should check it out.
Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory – electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes.
Regarding the purchase options, sorry about the “clunkiness” of not offering the full record digital download pre-sale (and having to visit Amazon). My agenda was to be able to offer this for the lowest possible price and this was the best way to achieve that. Amazon has been a great partner with past projects and I appreciate your understanding.
– Trent Reznor, 9.16.10″
