The Incredibles is the soundtrack album to the 2004 Disney-Pixar film of the same name, which was composed by Michael Giacchino. The Incredibles is the first Pixar film to be scored by Giacchino. Director Brad Bird was looking for a specific sound inspired by the film’s design — the future as seen from the 1960s. John Barry was the first choice to do the film’s score with a trailer of the film given a rerecording of Barry’s theme to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. However, Barry did not wish to duplicate the sound of some of his earlier soundtracks; the assignment was instead given to Giacchino.
Giacchino noted that recording in the 1960s was largely different than modern-day recording, and Dan Wallin, the recording engineer, said that Bird wanted an old feel, and as such, the score was recorded on analog tapes. Wallin noted that brass instruments, which are at the forefront of the score of The Incredibles, sound better on analog.
