Tron Ares Sound Design

Tron: Inside the Sound of the Grid explores how supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer Tormod Ringnes helped reinvent the audio identity of the Tron universe. In this exclusive Collider behind-the-scenes interview, Ringnes reveals how the team blended organic and digital textures—using everything from Moog synths to cellos—to make the Grid feel darker, more immersive, and alive. Working closely with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails, the sound team built a bold, dynamic world where each light cycle hum, voice modulation, and ambient detail serves the storytelling. From the creation of the “Voice of God” effect to designing soundscapes that evolve from mechanical to human, Ringnes explains how emotion and motion drive every sonic decision. Discover how Tron: Ares was mixed specifically for IMAX, creating an experience you don’t just hear—you feel.
