Joseph Trapanese

Joseph Trapanese is an American composer, arranger, and producer known for his work across film, television, records, theater, and concerts.

Trapanese gained significant recognition for his collaboration with Daft Punk on the soundtrack for Walt Disney Pictures's Tron: Legacy. His arrangements for the film, which spanned two years from pre-production to completion, were praised for their "resolutely grand" and "stirring... ominous, hypnotic" qualities. The BBC noted the soundtrack's "sophisticated integration of acoustic and electronic instrumentation... majestic… rich, solemn tones… saturnine orchestration and a muscular rhythm.”
