Join Thomas Bangalter, the Parisian composer, producer, and one half of Daft Punk, in this episode of CHANEL Connects, recorded live at Fondation Beyeler during Art Basel. Bangalter speaks about the post-robot life with rare candor. He walks us through ‘Warehouse Artifacts’, his immersive Art Basel finale with Julien Charrière and Rampa. He recalls the Centre Pompidou library that introduced him and the other half of Daft Punk, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, to Warhol and ‘Metropolis’ as teenagers, and the rave that pulled Daft Punk into being. He revisits the band’s award-winning albums, ‘Homework’, ‘Discovery’, and ‘Random Access Memories’, the Grammy-winning craft of ‘Get Lucky’ with Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder, and Bangalter’s turn toward orchestra and ballet with ‘Mythologies’ at Bordeaux Opera and ‘Mirage’ with Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa. Plus, hear why a 1985 memory of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Pont Neuf Wrapped led him, four decades later, back to the same bridge with JR. The conversation with Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage at CHANEL, is a profoundly human exchange about ritual, transmission, and the power of being unpredictable.
