This spring, Thomas Bangalter, who was one half of Daft Punk till very lately, will launch the brand new album Mythologies. This isn’t a conventional solo album. As a substitute, it’s an orchestral work that Bangalter composed for a ballet final 12 months. It’s not even like Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy rating. As a substitute, Mythologies gained’t embrace any components of digital music; it’s been carried out totally by the Orchestre Nationwide Bordeaux Aquitaine and carried out by Romain Dumas.
We’ve already posted Thomas Bangalter’s early observe “L’Accouchement,” and now he’s additionally shared one other one referred to as “Le Minotaure.” This one is dominated by low, ominous strings. I’m most likely displaying my classical music ignorance right here, nevertheless it jogs my memory just a little little bit of John Williams’ Jaws rating. Hear under.
Mythologies is out 4/7 on Erato/Warner Classics.
