Daft Punk Within Piano Sheet Music
We don't especially want to be in magazines. We have a responsibility.' Although they allowed a camera crew to film them for a French television arts program at the time, Daft Punk did not wish to speak on screen 'because it is dangerous.' During their Homework years, the duo would usually wear a variety of masks to hide their appearance. Bangalter noted that “the foundation for a lot of what we’re about artistically' is the 1974 film, in which the title character prominently wears a mask. Daft Punk were also fans of the 1970s band, known for wearing space suits with helmets that hid the performers' appearance.
In 1998, the Bangalter side project experimented with the band wearing reflective costumes in their music video. When not wearing disguises, Daft Punk occasionally preferred to be replaced by animation (as they appeared in DVD) or have their faces digitally obscured for press kits. Few official photos of the duo's faces exist, including a blurry one found in the Homework liner notes.
In their more visible Discovery years, Daft Punk appeared wearing robotic headgear and metallic gloves for publicity photo shoots, interviews, live shows and music videos. The helmets were produced by Paul Hahn of Daft Arts and the French directors, the duo who also designed them. With engineering by and, they are capable of various effects. Wigs were originally attached to both helmets, but the duo removed them just before the outfits were publicly unveiled in 2001. Daft Punk introduced the costumes to many U.S.
Television viewers in an advertisement during a special presentation of the music videos from the Discovery album during 's block. Bangalter once stated, ' We did not choose to become robots.
There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 am on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots.' Daft Punk have said that they donned their robot outfits to easily merge the characteristics of humans and machines.
However, Bangalter later stated that the costumes were initially the result of shyness. 'But then it became exciting from the audience's point of view.
It's the idea of being an average guy with some kind of superpower.' When asked whether the duo expressed themselves differently within the robotic suits, Bangalter stated 'No, we don't need to. It's not about having inhibitions. It's more like an advanced version of, where it's definitely not you.' With the release of Human After All, the musical duo's outfits became slightly less complicated by consisting of black leather jacket and pants and simplified versions of the Discovery headgear.
The attire was designed. Bangalter stated that, 'We never like to do the same thing twice. It's more fun and entertaining for us to do something different, whether it's wearing masks or developing a persona that merges fiction and reality. We're happy to give back to the masses'. According to Bangalter, the duo has a 'general rule about not appearing in videos.' Although Daft Punk rarely grants interviews, Bangalter is cited as being the more talkative and opinionated one of the duo. With regard to fame and stardom, he said: “ We don't believe in the.
We want the focus to be on the music. If we have to create an image, it must be an artificial image. That combination hides our physicality and also shows our view of the star system. It is not a compromise. We're trying to separate the private side and the public side. It's just that we're a little bit embarrassed by the whole thing.
We don't want to play this star system thing. We don't want to get recognised in the streets. Everyone has accepted us using masks in photos so far, which makes us happy. Maybe sometimes people are a little bit disappointed but that's the only way we want to do it.
We think the music is the most personal thing we can give. The rest is just about people taking themselves seriously, which is all very boring sometimes. ” In the same interview, he was also asked a question if stardom can be avoided. I think people understand what we are doing. I know many people who maybe like the way we are handling things. People understand that you don't need to be on the covers of magazines with your face to make good music. Painters or other artists, you don't know them but you know what they are doing.
We are very happy that the concept in itself is becoming famous. In France, you speak of Daft Punk and I'm sure millions of people have heard it, but less than a few thousand people know our face—which is the thing we're into. We control it, but it's not us physically, our persons.
We don't want to run into people who are the same age as us, shaking our hand and saying, 'Can I have your autograph?' Because we think we're exactly like them.
Even girls, they can fall in love with your music, but not with you. You don't always have to compromise yourself to be successful. The playing with masks is just to make it funnier. Pictures can be boring. We don't want all the poses and attitudes—they are completely stupid and ridiculous today. The New York Times.

Daft Punk attracted quite a few inquiries when they in silence from underneath their signature robot helmets. But who is really under all of that metal and glass? Daft Punk's two members are Frenchmen Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, both 39 years old, who've been making music as a group since 1993.
