In the five years since Daft Punk announced their breakup, Thomas Bangalter has kept himself busy by scoring films, soundtracking contemporary dance performances, teaming up with young artists like Lil Nas X and Fred again.., and composing music for ballets. His first solo album, in fact, was 2023’s Mythologies, an orchestral work for Angelin Preljocaj’s eponymous ballet that didn’t sound very much like Daft Punk at all. Today Bangalter has announced his next ballet endeavor, Mirage, which is billed as “a vast and atmospheric piece of electronic minimalism.” That doesn’t sound much like Daft Punk either, but it’s closer!
