Daft Punk's Bangalter Unveils New Ballet Album

0:00On April 23rd, Thomas Bangaltor from Daft Punk is back with a fresh album called Mirage Ballet for 16 Dancers, dropping June 5th. It's an experimental electronic soundtrack he crafted for a touring ballet out of Geneva's Grand Theatra de Geneva. Cooked up by choreographer Damien, Gillette and artist, Kohé Nawa, the first taste Mirage Part 2 hit streaming platforms this Friday, April 24th. This project fits right into Bangaltor's busy streak since Daft Punk hung up their helmets. Lately, he's been deep in ballet soundtracks, like his 2024 release Kyraptura, Matier Premiere for Paris Opera Show, and the Orquestra Mythologies from 2023 for another dance piece. Fans have been buzzing about his shift to these intricate scores. Mirage drops the same week as a massive Paris art collab with artist J.R., turning the historic pot-nuff bridge into a cavern called L'Acavelle du Pom.

1:00Note from June 6th to 28th, nodding to a famous wrapped bridge install from 40 years back. Bangaltor's also hitting the Dex Rare style, with the back-to-back set alongside Fred again dot dot dot in late February to close out that tour, right? After his first public gig in 16 years at Paris's center, Pompadou last October, keeps the legend evolving, one beat at a time. Stay tuned with music news today, AI Powered Updates.
