Daft Punk Interview

With the recent release of Disney's Tron: Legacy, the Hollywood Reporter interviewed critically acclaimed french producers Daft Punk. They talked about their music in relation to the whole project.

Bangalter: We were interested in the relationship between society and technology, and how the place of technology in the world had changed so much. The first movie in 1982 was a very colorful, hopeful, naive look at technology, and the power of the computer. Thirty years later, this new movie would be a dark and not-innocent look at technology. It was in common with how we feel about technology, which is this love-hate relationship with it. It can be wonderful and terrifying.
