The Social Network is the score album for David Fincher's 2010 film of the same name, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It was released on September 28, 2010, through The Null Corporation.[1] On September 17, a v-rail sampler was besides made available for free.[2] The score bears a like sound to the previous Reznor/Ross 2008 collaboration, Ghosts I–IV, and even features two slightly reworked tracks from Ghosts; the runway "Magnetic" (reworked from "fourteen Ghosts Two") and "A Familiar Taste" (a remixed version of "35 Ghosts 4").
The soundtrack received positive reviews from critics, and widespread acclamation across the pic industry. The score won ix major awards, including the 2010 Golden Globe award for Best Original Score – Motility Motion picture,[iii] and the University Accolade for Best Original Score at the 83rd University Awards.[four]
Background [edit]
When Trent Reznor was originally asked by director David Fincher to score The Social Network, he initially declined, partly due to only finishing up a long touring and recording schedule.[five] [half dozen] After farther reflecting, Reznor apologized and told Fincher to keep him in consideration, to which he told Reznor that he had been waiting for him to take.
On July 1, 2010, Reznor publicly announced that he and Ross were taking role in the soundtrack on nin.com:
I was planning on taking some time off after the continual waves of touring that concluded last fall and spend this year experimenting effectually with what would go How to Destroy Angels and some new NIN. Well, that programme didn't work out so well. David Fincher started inquiring about my interest in scoring his upcoming motion-picture show, The Social Network. Yes, the movie almost the founding of Facebook. I've always loved David'due south work but quite honestly I wondered what would draw him to tell that story. When I actually read the script and realized what he was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned. Atticus Ross and I have been on a artistic roll so I asked him if he wanted to work on this with me and we signed on.
Months later, I'one thousand happy to tell you we're nearing the completion of this and I couldn't be happier with how information technology's turned out. The level of excellence that David operates on is inspiring and the entire process has been challenging and truly enjoyable.
As Atticus and I almost the terminate of the scoring procedure, we're looking forward to the next phase - distilling the big amount of music we've written for this down to a satisfying tape (or 2). The picture opens October 1 in the The states with the record likely available a couple of weeks alee of that.
Speaking of the moving picture... it's actually fucking good. And nighttime![7]
The motion picture initially had a "John Hughes vibe" to it, which concerned Reznor at get-go, but later meeting with Fincher and trying out different ideas with Atticus Ross, it turned out to work a lot more than smoothly after all. Reznor recalled, "The whole process was fun for me because I liked answering to someone I respect and not having to make all the decisions for a alter." Reznor and Ross would try sketches of songs, figuring they would have to revise it eventually, simply for Fincher to become dorsum to them and say, "I don't have anything bad to say – that's never happened before."[viii]
The idea of recording "In the Hall of the Mountain King" came from a scene at the Henley Royal Regatta and trying to find a song that would lucifer up with its Edwardian era garden party theme. Fincher told them to try a Wendy Carlos version of it, which Reznor admits "threw [him] for a loop" and says information technology took four weeks to work on.[8]
Packaging [edit]
The album's art was created by 9 Inch Nails' creative managing director Rob Sheridan, based upon the designs used to promote the film, mixed with Sheridan's mode of epitome distortion. He explained the ideas, techniques and methods that made upwardly the compositions that were used for the physical release:
For The Social Network soundtrack art, my goal was to walk the line between representing the film and creating something that stood every bit a piece of art on its own, much every bit the soundtrack itself does.
For the comprehend, I needed to stand for the branding of the film, just neither Trent nor I wanted the photo of Jesse Eisenberg to be the embrace as directly as information technology was in the film's poster. By blurring out the photo and placing the title text over Eisenberg's eyes, I was able to create a cover that evoked the film's branding while distancing itself from it at the aforementioned time. The mode of fonts used in the film and its marketing were something Trent and I both really liked, then we preserved that for the soundtrack.
For the internal fine art, Sony gave me a batch of publicity stills from the film to apply if I wanted. Past their nature none of them were particularly creative, and I wasn't sure how useful they'd be for the artwork. Trent expressed an involvement in creating a package that could stand up on its own whether or not listeners had seen the motion picture. Given that we conceded a bit on the album embrace, he said "let'southward make the inside packaging weird."
An early on idea I had was to digitally corrupt the images we had from the moving-picture show, combining a "glitch art" visual aesthetic I've always been interested in with a metaphor for digital images shared on Facebook, the abuse they're susceptible to, and the corruption portrayed in the film. This thought resonated with Trent, so I began experimenting with dissimilar means to destroy the publicity stills Sony had sent me.
Whereas in previous projects (especially With Teeth and Year Zero) I'd used careful manual processes to create digital glitches, this time I actually destroyed images by opening them up in a text editor and adding/removing text to their raw code.
Information technology was a very experimental, trial-and-error process - I tried different file types, different rendering methods (for instance, damaged Photoshop files render much more interestingly in OSX's Preview than in Photoshop itself), and different types of text injected into the image files (I grabbed random paragraphs of text from around the web - ridiculous fan-fiction sites were a fun source). These images were distorted through manual editing of the prototype files in a text editor, not through intricate Photoshop piece of work.
The CD, Blu-ray, and vinyl editions of the album all utilize slightly dissimilar artwork elements.[ix]
Release [edit]
The first track from the soundtrack, "Paw Covers Bruise (No Piano)" debuted on The Social Network'south website on August 30, 2010, streaming in the background. The album was released by The Nil Corporation and distributed by Sony Music.
A five-track sampler for the album was released on September 17, on The Null Corporation's homepage.
On the day of the five-rail sampler's launch, Reznor posted about the release on the Null Corporation's site:
This is what Atticus and I accept been working on for the final few months. We had a bang-up time working with David Fincher on this and the film turned out excellent - something we're very proud of. It opens in theaters Oct 1 and you should check information technology out.
Musically, this all came out of our secret laboratory - electronic in footing, but mostly organic sounding. Lots of experiments and emphasis on audio fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes.
Regarding the purchase options, sorry almost the "clunkiness" of not offering the full record digital download pre-auction (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 accomplish that. Amazon has been a great partner with past projects and I appreciate your agreement.[x]
The album was released for digital download on September 28, exclusively on Amazon MP3, and is bachelor in three physical formats: CD, Blu-ray 5.1 surroundings sound and 2x12" vinyl record, released on October eleven, 18 and 25 respectively. It was the first release from The Null Corporation to be marked with a Null number, being Null 01 – a direct homage to the Nine Inch Nails halo numbers catalog organization. For the tenth anniversary of the release, a Dolby Atmos mix was made bachelor.[11]
Every song in the film is on the soundtrack, with the exception of "Ball and Biscuit" by the White Stripes, "California über alles" by Dead Kennedys, "two Ghosts I" by Ix Inch Nails, "Baby, Yous're a Rich Human" past The Beatles, "Similar a Bad Girl Should" by The Cramps[12] and "The Audio of Violence" by Dennis De Laat.
Promotion [edit]
On the album'south official Facebook page,[13] a five-twenty-four hours promotion for the motion picture was created on September 22, offer fans the chance to remix "On Nosotros March" and "In Motility" to win a adventure to meet Ross and Reznor in Los Angeles, along with a seat at the pic'due south première. The pair take since announced that they've planned for a remix EP to be released containing the best fan remixes, and that many more multitracks would exist released for the purpose.[14] However, neither the remix EP nor the additional multitracks came to fruition.
