Daft Punk

Four years after the release of Discovery, Daft Punk realeased their follow up album, Human After All. Jimmy Dorsey died of cancer in New York City. Bangalter also teamed up with DJ Falcon to create Together, who subsequently released the club smash So Much Love To Give. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo operates his own music label, Crydamoure. Dorsey is considered one of the most prominent alto saxophone players of the pre-bebop era. In 2002 he produced the motion picture soundtrack for Gaspar Noé's Irréversible. Jimmy Dorsey appeared in a number of Hollywood motion pictures, including That Girl From Paris, Shall We Dance?, The Fleet's In, Lost in Harlem, I Dood It, and the bio-pic with his brother Tommy, The Fabulous Dorseys. With Music Sounds Better With You, Thomas Bangalter had a major club hit in 1998, released under the name Stardust on his own Roulé-label. In 1953 he joined Tommy's Orchestra, renamed "The Fabulous Dorseys"; he took over leadership of the orchestra after Tommy's death.

The album Discovery subsequentally became the soundtrack to the anime film Interstella 5555, which they co-produced with Leiji Matsumoto. Jimmy continued leading his own band until the start of the 1950s. The music videos for their singles from Homework featured memorable characters and were directed by cult video producers, including Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. Tommy broke off to form his own band in 1935. The duo "became" robots for all of their publicity shots and interviews. After returning to the USA he worked briefly with Rudy Vallee and several other bandleaders, in addition to the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra with Tommy. Daft Punk are notable for their use of visuals in music. He joined Ted Lewis's band in 1930, with whom he toured Europe.

Much of Daft Punk's newer fan base knows them mainly from Discovery. The brothers also appeared as session musicians on many jazz recordings. Some have interpreted the title "Discovery" as meaning "very Disco", as much of the album hearkens to the disco era; "Homework" can also be a reference to the respective album's focus, house music (Home ≈ House). He did much free lance radio and recording work throughout the 1920s. Nevertheless, it sold very well, and the single "One More Time" was a major club hit. He formed a band with his brother Tommy, then in 1924 joined the California Ramblers (who were based in New York City). 2001's Discovery, with its more commercial, synth-pop-oriented style, disappointed some fans of Homework. He switched to saxophone in 1915, and then learned to double on clarinet.

In addition to "Da Funk", "Around the World" was the most successful single from Homework. He played trumpet in his youth, appearing on stage in a Vaudeville act as early as 1913. The album Homework (Virgin, 1996) was regarded as an innovative synthesis of techno, house, acid house and electro, and widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance music albums of the nineties. Jimmy Dorsey was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, the son of a music teacher and older brother of Tommy Dorsey who also became a prominent musician. Daft Punk's debut single The New Wave (Soma, 1993) was followed by their first commercially successful single "Da Funk" (1995). James "Jimmy" Dorsey (February 29, 1904 - June 12, 1957) was a prominent jazz clarinetist, saxophonist and big band leader. Its name was inspired by a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker, which described their first collaboration, a Beach Boys inspired guitar group named Darling that recorded on Stereolab's Duophonic imprint in 1992, as "a bunch of daft punk".

Daft Punk is the main project of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975), two dance music artists from Paris.
