History
Edit
Founded in 2004, the Track Team is a "purveyor of artistically and technologically innovative audio in the realms of television, film, commercials and video games".[1]
At the time the Track Team was beginning its commercial career, Benjamin Wynn was a roommate of Avatar co-creator Bryan Konietzko, so they became a logical choice to be in charge of the soundtrack for the series. The creators approached the Track Team with the request to write the music of Avatar, using a diverse group of instruments. Complying to this wish, the group of musicians used for the score consists of western orchestra blended with Chinese percussion, a mandolin, occasionally a Chinese flute, many other Chinese instruments, and sometimes a choir.[source?]
There were very few times when a cue was completely rejected by the creators; Zuckerman stated in an interview that he and Wynn enjoyed a lot of creative freedom.[2] The uncommon understanding is due to the fact that Bryan Konietzko is a composer himself.
Together, the duo have produced the music for the critically acclaimed series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Their work on the show has earned them the 2008 Peabody Award. Their most recent work has been the The Legend of Korra soundtrack.
