Daft Punk Stream Interstella 5555 , Their Discovery Companion Movie

By Jazz Monroe

Daft Punks GuyManuel de HomemChristo and Thomas Bangalter

Daft Punk marked February 22, the anniversary of their breakup , with a stream of Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem . The screening of the animated sci-fi movie, which they released in 2003 to accompany Discovery , started at 5:22 p.m. Eastern on Twitch .

Daft Punk wrote Interstella 5555 with Cédric Hervet and enlisted Kazuhisa Takenouchi, a Dragon Ball Z alumnus, to direct. It tells the story of the duo’s abduction by alien militants and a rescue attempt by a dreamy space pilot called Shep. The hourlong film is usually hard to watch through official channels in North America, though it was excerpted for the album’s videos.

February 22 has become a notable date in Daft Punk’s post-breakup calendar. On the first anniversary of the breakup, they announced a Homework reissue and livestreamed a vintage show. The following year brought news of the Random Access Memories reissue. (Later in 2023, for reasons known to them alone, Daft Punk released a drumless version of the album.) This month, Thomas Bangalter released his score for Quentin Dupieux’s Daaaaaalí!

Daft Punk to Live Stream Their 'Discovery'-Era Anime Film 'Interstella 5555' on Twitch

T hree years ago, Daft Punk ( nee Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) announced that they were breaking up. And every year since, they have done a little something on the anniversary of this announcement, from sharing an old live show to announcing a deluxe edition of their Grammy-winning 2013 masterpiece "Random Access Memories."

This year, they are going to be streaming 2003's "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem," the "Discovery"-era anime movie, live on Twitch .

Described as a "visual companion" to "Discovery," the elaborately animated movie follows a blue-skinned alien superstar music group who is taken hostage and - of course - has to mount a daring escape. All set to the immortal songs from their breakthrough 2001 album. (This was also the album that introduced the concept that Bangalter and de Homem-Christo were no longer human but had instead transitioned to a robotic state.)

"Interstella 5555" was overseen by legendary Japanese animator and manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, of "Space Battleship Yamato" fame and animated by Toei Animation, the studio behind the initial run of "Transformers," as well as "Dragon Ball Z" and "Sailor Moon" (among many others). Kazuhisa Takenouchi, a "Dragon Ball Z" veteran, directed the film from a script by Daft Punk and Cédric Hervet.

Several segments from "Interstella 5555" doubled as music videos from "Discovery." The movie was later released on DVD and, in 2011, on Blu-ray. Both editions are currently out-of-print and going for exorbitant amounts on secondhand platforms like eBay.

Since disbanding, they have re-released both their debut album "Homework" and "Random Access Memories" (even releasing a drumless version of "Random Access Memories"), produced a series of YouTube mini-documentaries about the making of "Random Access Memories" called "Memory Tapes," put out more official merchandise on their website (including some new "epilogue" stuff) and engaged in their own solo projects, like Bangalter's "Mythologies" project and his recent original score for "Daaaaaalí!"

The Meaning Behind “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk and Why They Never Sounded so Human

by Thom Donovan February 28, 2024, 8:00 am

Daft Punk gave up using samples and returned to how artists recorded in the 1970s on “Get Lucky.” They reverse-engineered a technique they perfected—sampling and looping music from earlier times—and, instead, cut a record with live studio musicians in a large room recording studio like in the old days.

Videos by American Songwriter

The French robotic duo never sounded so human. At the time, Daft Punk thought music lacked distinctiveness. As a result, they recorded an album with humans instead of machines programmed to simulate metronomic humans. The advent of affordable music software democratized entry into music. But millions of artists using the same sample libraries also homogenized the work.

Leaving EDM to their past, they traveled further back on “Get Lucky” and joined forces with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers . The paradox of two men dressed as robots putting sentience back into music is intriguing. Williams is a star of the era Daft Punk recorded in, while Rodgers helped define the era they glimpsed from the past.

“Get Lucky” appears on Random Access Memories , their fourth and final studio album. It’s also their best.

Lose Yourself

In a 2013 interview with GQ , Williams, speaking about his songwriting on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” said both songs “are for people who need a break.” He said, “There’s a lot of f–ked-up travesty in the world. Sometimes you just need a Hallmark card. Sometimes you just need to shake your ass.”

Like the legend of the phoenix All ends with beginnings What keeps the planet spinning The force of love beginning

Daft Punk’s disco hit is preoccupied with a good time. Williams added the song’s repetition imitates how you don’t want the night to end. He cuts the moment like a sample, then turns it into a repeated earworm.

She’s up all night till the sun I’m up all night to get some She’s up all night for good fun I’m up all night to get lucky

Get Serendipity

Williams talked about disco when he arrived in Paris to work with Daft Punk. He played some music he’d been working on, not knowing they had a similar track in mind featuring Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, who takes Daft Punk back in time to Studio 54 with his Fender Stratocaster.   

Daft Punk asked Williams what he’d been working on; he told them he was “in a Nile Rodgers place.” A serendipitous moment for the musicians. Williams had earlier worked with Daft Punk, remixing “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” on their 2003 remix album Daft Club .

A lot changed in electronic music in the eight years between Daft Punk albums. Pop radio adopted the music they made a decade ago, and the robots needed a way to distance themselves from a sound they created.

Give Life Back to Music

The French duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo decided to go analog in a digital world. Random Access Memories is the first album they’ve made in a proper recording studio. They recorded the first three albums in Bangalter’s home—two in a bedroom and one in his living room.

Moving away from loops and samples on Random Access Memories , Daft Punk used live musicians who’d played on Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Off the Wall albums, taking a reverse tour to a different kind of dance music. Sampling had been central to Daft Punk’s music, but they replaced it with recording techniques from the ’70s and ’80s, recording in big-name studios with big-time artists.

With a live band, the instruments breathe instead of the restriction of heavily quantized machines—the push and pull of human imperfection. That restricting isn’t a bad sound, and certainly not in the hands of these capable robots, but “Get Lucky” feels like an emotional release. It feels like stepping outside after too much time in the house with the drapes closed.

They didn’t always hide their faces. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo, or Guy-Man, took press photos with their faces shown early in their career. They released Homework in 1997 and soon began wearing masks in public.

The robot helmets arrived with their second album Discovery in 2001. As their fame grew, they held onto their anonymity. One of history’s most influential dance music artists can go out to any restaurant or movie theater, and no one knows they are seated next to the “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” duo.

Instant Crush

Secrecy surrounded the then-new Daft Punk album, and the promotional rollout included Saint Laurent sparkling jackets designed by Hedi Slimane. They also ran promotional commercials during Saturday Night Live , and eventually, “Get Lucky” leaked online.

Did the hype work? In 2013, Williams’ projects held the top two spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, with “Get Lucky” at No. 2 and “Blurred Lines” at No. 1.

Also, “Get Lucky” set a record for the most streams in a single day on Spotify and won two Grammy Awards, including for Record of the Year. When accepting their award, the duo stood silently at the podium while Williams spoke “on behalf of the robots.”

Working in an era of electronic home recordings—something they perfected—Daft Punk rediscovered the past to make a uniquely new record in 2013.

Daft Punk at Madame Tussauds New York

Daft Punk is going face to face in a whole new way, with Madame Tussauds New York revealing new wax figures of the French duo.

Daft Punk to Livestream Its 2003 Film ‘Interstella 5555’ in Honor of Daft Punk Day

Capturing the pair — Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo — in their Random Access Memories -era silk and velvet suits, the figures debuted in the facility on Tuesday (Feb. 27.) The duo are installed in the facility’s “Glow Gala” area, inspired by New York’s gala scene, with a no-scrubs crew of nearby figures including Ariana Grande, Matthew McConaughey, Rihanna and Beyoncé.

With designers not having to focus attention on the faces of the always helmeted artists, the focus in this project was on the clothes, with the wax Daft Punk sporting custom-tailored replicas of Saint Laurent’s black sequined Le Smoking tuxedo suits designed by Hedi Slimane for Daft Punk’s  Random Access Memories  project. The figures extend a huge 10-year anniversary celebration for the pair’s Grammy album of the year winner.

Trending on Billboard

“As Daft Punk and Madame Tussauds both share French origins, this collaboration is a testament to the innovation and artistic brilliance of those that came before us and the ability of music and art to transcend global boundaries,” Ben Shapiro, marketing executive at Madame Tussauds New York, said in a statement. “We’re honored to welcome fans from ‘Around the World’ to the attraction to see their idols ‘One More Time’ and celebrate the legacy of Daft Punk and French House music.”

Daft Punk are the latest in a very long line of musicians to get the iconic Madame Tussauds treatment, with Bad Bunny, Travis Barker and RuPaul all recently getting figures. The history of Madame Tussauds goes back to 1835 London, when a wax museum was founded by French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud.
