The Social Network
A fragile piano over an electronic bed to tell how Facebook was born. It won Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross the Oscar.
How it was made
Reznor and Ross did not compose with specific scenes in mind: they worked as if they were making an album. They sent David Fincher a few pieces, and "Hand Covers Bruise" grabbed him.
Two cues, "Magnetic" and "A Familiar Taste", are reworked versions of tracks from their earlier album Ghosts I–IV.
What makes it special
"Hand Covers Bruise" sets a fragile piano melody over an almost ghostly bed of sound. The album also includes their version of Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King".
