The Track Team

The Track Team is a duo made up of Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Whynn. They compose the music of Avatar:The Last Airbender. They first only did music for commercials and that sort of thing. But Benjamin Whynn was roommates with Bryan Konietzo while Bryan Konietzo and Michael Dante DiMartino were creating Avatar. That was how they were aquainted. According to an interview with Jeremy Zuckerman on avatarspirit.net, they hadn't done anything like Avatar before. But the creators confidently believed that the Track Team could do it. The creators approached them saying that they wanted a sound with a "fictional and ancient style". So far, there have been very few times where a cue has been fully rejected. According to Zuckerman, they get a lot of freedom. They are understood in an uncommon way, because Bryan Konietzo is a composer himself. Some of the well known cues for Avatar composed by the Track Team are: The Main Theme, Ocean Spirit (La), Azula's Theme, The Swamp Fight, the Final Blow, and more.
