Man, those first couple Trent/Atticus film scores were so incredible. I like all their scores, don't get me wrong. But when they were just starting out composing stuff together? Oh man.

From that video, apparently Luca Guadagnino got them on board for Challengers by sending them an email saying "it's SUPER SEXXXY".

Hurt was in Ring of Fire (Cash jukebox musical) so Trent has a credit on Broadway. I think the Image award from the NAACP is a weirder claim. They might be the only duo with that twofer unless the CMA acknowledge Cowboy Carter.

Did Trent find god as he got older or something? What happened to "God is dead and no one cares"? I know that was 30 years ago, but I didn't know he'd done a 180 and become a believer in that time.

Something in another interview in the past few years also made me briefly think this. Guess it�s always possible

There is no contradiction in saying gently caress off to Americanized Christianity/organized religion and believing in something bigger than yourself or spiritual connection to the universe that you refer to as god.

quote:

Subject: Black Celebration/Flash By Robin Reinhardt Spin Feb. 1990

"People come up to me like I'm this grim, have-a-noose-around-my-neck-at-all-times kind of person. That's not the case at all," says Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor."I'm not the happiest guy in the world. I'm not sure why. But I can't say, "It's because someone stole my bike.""
Trent, a 24-year-old keyboardist from rural PA, dropped out of college in '84, moved to the steel wasteland of Cleveland and took a job as a studio technician to learn music engineering. Though he's a trained classical pianist, he hasn't looked at a piece of sheet music in five years. He didn't want traditional music theory and technique to interfere with Nine Inch Nails' raw, uncalculated debut LP, Pretty Hate Machine. Reshaping '80's mope rock, Trent and producers John Fryer and Flood fuse misery with technology. They take advantage of the massive appeal of the Cure, Depeche Mode and the Smiths(the dead on expression of post-adolescent discontent) and make it danceable. The album ia a collection of dense electronic noise, synthesized beats and powerful laments that wallow in introspection, attack with violent screams and haunt with seductive, droning whispers. The songs - the first Trent's ever written - are fraught with religious references, Trent sometimes putting himself in Christ's place.

"I believe in god," he says. "I was brought up going to Sunday school and church, but it didn't really mean anything. Things upset me a lot. It was just a theme I kept coming back to-religion, guilt and doubting. I believe there's a god but I'm not too sure of his relevance."

On stage, Trent and the touring band he formed in Cleveland are lost in a sea of smoke, leather and skin. Covered in cakey white powder, black lipstick and eyeliner, he moves slowly, provocatively, then erupts into a wild, uninhibited dance, yanking his guitar player around the stage by his ponytail and spitting beer onto the crowd. Unlike his harsh, aggressive music and dramatic stage performance, Trent Reznor-a little over five feet tall with long jet black hair, shaved on both sides, wearing a hoop earing and black combat boots-is, in person, a bit shy, a bit melancholy. "I'm not the cool rock guy who has a motorcycle,"he says. Although, for fun he does ride a mountain bike.

"I was raised by my grandparents, the greatest people in the world," says Trent. "I try to tell them,"You're not going to hear my music on the radio. I'm not going to be on soap operas singing this." I can imagine what my grandfather tells people: "It's called Nine Inch Nails-here's the video. And here he is lying dead at the end of it." I warned my grandfather that the church might be after him."

I am wondering what the synth version of the Hello Kitty Strat is that they were too embarrassed to be seen using.

I'm not as familiar with that kind of gear, so the only thing I can think of is some clapped out Casio like you would have got for Christmas in 1988 from Radio Shack.

Even Nietzsche wasn't exactly an atheist, he was more just questioning the need for a concept of god in today's society, and also critiquing Christians specifically. The above quote is pretty much in line with that philosophy.

(This is on top of the fact that people do in fact change, and songs aren't necessarily accurate statements of one's beliefs, especially on a concept album like TDS which explicitly ends with the death of its protagonist)

Wait, mixed by Boys Noize? Oh hell yeah. Those are two (well, 3, considering it's Trent and Atticus) names I never expected to see on the same track.

Is that Mariqueen's voice on Yeah x10?

e: And then Trent's vocals all over Compress/Repress, this owns. What a great score.

Cool stuff. I wonder if there's another version coming eventually that isn't "MIXED" and is maybe longer or something.

Edit: Pitchfork seemingly confirms:

https://pitchfork.com/news/trent-reznor-atticus-ross-and-boys-noize-connect-for-new-challengers-mixed-album-listen/

quote:

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scored the new Luca Guadagnino movie Challengers. For now, the Nine Inch Nails musicians are not releasing their original score. Instead, they’ve shared Boys Noize’s mix of nine songs from the film, made to play like a continuous DJ set. Listen to the new album, fully titled Challengers [Mixed] by Boys Noize, below.

“It’s been a fun challenge to turn this into one fluid experience and take it even further by redesigning the tracks, creating new elements and changing certain parts—especially on ‘Compress / Repress,’ which turns super epic in the end,” Boys Noize said in a press statement. “Working with Trent and Atticus has been a dream come true; they’ve been so great and helpful during the entire process.”

Hell yeah, this is exactly what I want from a NIN techno album. Looking forward to the full release as otherwise 30 minutes is rather short for a full soundtrack. Also, with the Mariqueen vocals it's the closest we're getting to a new HTDA release.
