Since their split in 2021, Daft Punk fans have been eagerly waiting to see what the two members of the iconic electronic music duo would do next. Now, Thomas Bangalter has revealed his latest project, "Mythologies," a 90-minute instrumental score for a traditional symphony orchestra. For almost three decades, Bangalter was hidden behind his charismatic helmet, but now he has reinvented himself completely. While he remains passionate about music, he has left behind the synthesizers and embarked on a new musical journey with "Mythologies." This new work is a complete departure from his previous musical legacy. Bangalter spoke about the project in an interview with the New York Times, saying that he is currently focused on his physical appearance, and that there is "nothing sensational" about his new ballet. "Mythologies" is Bangalter's first major project since the dissolution of Daft Punk. It is a 90-minute instrumental piece designed to accompany a classical dance piece. According to the composer, "With electronic music, it's very difficult and takes a long time to infuse emotion into machines. So writing a chord or a melody and having performers play it and have this instant emotional quality is really stimulating." Fans of Daft Punk may be disappointed that the duo has split, but they can take comfort in the fact that Bangalter is continuing to create innovative music. "Mythologies" is a testament to his artistic vision and his willingness to take risks and explore new musical territory.
