Bangalter’s new album, Mythologies, releases on April 7 on Erato/Warner Classics. It was initially commissioned for the ballet of the identical title by the choreographer Angelin Preljocaj, which premiered by the Orchestre Nationwide Bordeaux Aquitaine beneath the course of Romain Dumas.
“As a considerable lyrical work, Mythologies finds the co-founder of Daft Punk reinventing his method to composition,” says the announcement, describing that the 90-minute rating “exhibits scant regard for standard stylistic boundaries” and divulges “a love of Baroque music and traces of American minimalism.”
The album first started within the autumn of 2019 when Angelin Preljocaj invited Bangalter to put in writing the music for a brand new mission to mark the fruits of a number of years of collaboration with the Opéra Nationwide de Bordeaux. The ballet is meant for ten dancers from the Opéra Nationwide de Bordeaux’s ballet firm, together with ten others from Preljocaj’s personal firm, accompanied by the home’s resident orchestra.
