The Music of DAFT PUNK
Tron Legacy Overture
Give Life Back to Music
Get Lucky
Beyond
Adagio For Tron
End of Line
Tron Legacy End Titles
The French electronic music duo Daft Punk has been on its own musical journey since its inception in 1987.
Their first musical influences were the Beach Boys, Elton John, and the Rolling Stones. As Daft Punk evolved
and grew in popularity, their music used more samples and auto-tune. Interestingly, Daft Punk
then went exactly the opposite direction and wrote the film score to Tron:Legacy.
Their influences for that work include Max Steiner and Philip Glass.
“Let the music in tonight
Just turn on the music
Let the music of your life
Give life back to music”
The Pride of Arizona invites the audience to take a similar musical and visual journey with us today.
You will experience a show that is fun, funky, and powerfully epic, just like the music of Daft Punk.
“Beyond dreams
Beyond life
You will find your song“
