Thomas Bangalter, formerly of the acclaimed musical duo Daft Punk, has announced his first solo album. The orchestral work is titled Mythologies. The announcement comes alongside Bangalter shedding the iconic helmet he wore as part of Daft Punk and revealing his face to the public for the first time, albeit in the form of a drawing. The new album spans 90 minutes and, per a press release,"shows scant regard for conventional stylistic boundaries.
According to that same press release, Bangalter has been working on his project since 2019,"when Angelin Preljocaj invited Thomas Bangalter to write the music for a new work that was to mark the culmination of several years of collaboration with the Opéra National de Bordeaux. The piece was intended for ten dancers from the Opéra National de Bordeaux's ballet company, ten others from Preljocaj's own company and the house's resident orchestra.
The release continues,"The form, the stakes and the creative process involved in Mythologies are all radically different and represent a new stage in Bangalter's development over the last thirty years of writing, composing and performing music, during which time he has explored the world of technology and the relationship between humankind and machines in his seminal work with Daft Punk.
