This monday february 22nd, Daft Punk announced that they were done. They split up.
They made this announcement with this video called epilogue :
The video reprise some shots from their movie Electroma and with a bit of their Random Access Memories's "Touch" track. At the end of the video, we can see being written 1993-2021. Late, their publicist confirmed that they decided to split up.
Right now, we don't know much behind this, but I must admit that I am really really really sad.
My pseudo is a direct inspiration from Daft Punk. It's a mix between "Human After All", their third album released in 2005, and "Guy-Man", one of the two members of Daft Punk.
I'm also shocked, because Daft Punk is the band that launched me in doing movies and music. In 2003 they made a movie called "Interstella 5555 : The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem", based on their Discovery album. You can find it here :
Back then I was 9 years old. My uncle bought the DVD and showed it to me (the same uncle who bought Shenmue 2 btw, thank you uncle for everything). It was the first time in my life that I was moved by a piece of art or cultural property. This movie and this music haunted me for god knows how long. Not so long ago I looked up the price it would cost me to make a tattoo about Interstella 5555 !
And this album haunted me for so long that I started making electronic music when I was 13-14. My goal was to make Daft Punk-like music. It was what I was aiming at. I still listen to this album pretty often, even though with time and now 26 years old, I don't listen to it everyday like I used to back then (I am not joking, between the age of 13 till 19 I listened everyday to either their Discovery album or their Alive 2007 album), but I still consider it my personnal favorite album, and objectively one of the greatest album of all times !
Now, when I was around 17-18, I started making videos, still inspired by Daft Punk and their movie Interstella as well as Electroma (another movie they released in 2006). I started to have a big passion for cinema and movies. And passion that went bigger than my passion for music. And passion that would lead me to make a video diploma and become a professionnal audiovisual technician/movie director (really not the easiest path, but hey).
Basically, Daft Punk has been the biggest inspiration in my life to get me to make music and movies. If they never existed, maybe I would have been in a completely another field. Who knows. All I know is that Daft Punk is done, and with that, a part of my life. A huge chunk of it to be honest. Most of my childhood and adolescence was driven by them.
I wish them well.
Any other Daft Punk fans ?
