French Culture Project 2-Daft Punk
By Jaron Segal
Daft Punk is 2 french men named Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They have won 2 grammys and their band was made in 1993 and is still producing new music. They play house music, commonly called techno,dance,etc. The 2 members met in middle school and they made a band called Darlin' it was a failure and broke up, but they stayed together. Originally they played the guitar and bass, but now they're on the turn tables.
I find it strange that their influences are rock bands like The Rolling Stones or The Beach Boys, because they are famous for their house music They got their name by a critic saying Darlin "was just another dart punk band" , hence their name Daft Punk.
One interesting fact is no one knows what they look like. They play with the masks on 24/7, and if they go out in public they wear the mask. This is because they do not want a big public image. They beleive its stupid.
Their recent work includes: many tours and concerts around the world, but their most recent best work is the Tron soundtrack. They starred in the movie at a scene and completely made the soundtrack with a composer 2 years prior to the premeire.
a. What about your musician's sound do you like? How does the sound affect your mood? What does the sound remind you of?
The sound is just like very very good dance music, it doesnt really change my mood. Its a very energetic sound, much like Deadmau5.
c. What does your musician sing about? *What are some of the major themes or subjects of the songs? If they do not sing, how can you interpret the music or sound?
Daft Punk's rythyms sound very energetic and just like that the 2 men are having a great time. It seems upbeat and dancy most of the time.
