Soundtrack of The Legend of Korra

The Legend of Korra has a soundtrack produced by the The Track Team, a duo made up of Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn. The soundtrack has been described as "jazz", but as if it were "invented in the 20s by the Chinese". Its tone has been described as being "much more mature" and "much different" than the soundtrack of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Track Team wanted a more in-depth exploration of instruments and as a result, the music is a little more sparse in the number of instruments playing at once. The new soundtrack takes advantage of Eastern and Western live instruments, digital sound design, and Chinese instrumentalist Hong Wang, who is proficient in over twenty ethnic instruments.

The Track Team


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". The Track Team is made up of Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn. Together, they 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.

Jeremy Zuckerman
An avid guitar player since the age of thirteen, Jeremy Zuckerman has had an interest in music since his early childhood. He was born and raised in upstate rural New York. Later in his life, he got odd jobs around music businesses such as shrink-wrapping CDs. Eventually, he started working a gig at a mid-town Manhattan production studio. He graduated from the Berklee College of Music with an interest in sound design with new technologies, so he traveled to the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). There, he met Benjamin Wynn and earned his master's degree in Composition New Media. Zuckerman can play many instruments and frequently plays guitar for a LA funk band named Cousin Junebug.

Benjamin Wynn
Growing up in Chicago, Benjamin Wynn was heavily influenced by the University of Chicago's radio station WHPK. He particularly liked the way hip-hop manipulated sounds, as well as its use of static. He spent much time hanging out around the station during his high school career. Later, his interests in music led him to CalArts where he studied acoustics, music theory, and other related subjects. He earned a bachelor's degree in music technology, but was intrigued by the Balinese Gamelan, African drumming, and hand percussion. He has put out three electronic/hip-hop albums under the name of Deru and helped compose an eight-part score for a ballet during his professional career.
