Can Random Access Memories be continued?
Random Access Memories, from 2013, ended up becoming a landmark, not only for its resounding success, but also for marking the last work of Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo for Daft Punk. But the album would, at least initially, have a confirmed sequence.
A Daft Punk collaborator confirmed that the French duo would have new material for a yet-to-be-released album. Quinthe drummer who contributed to the group’s last studio album, revealed that he had participated in recordings for what would be the unreleased follow-up to Random Access Memories (2013).
“On Random Access Memories, I was probably the last one to join the recording. For the next record that [o Daft Punk] was preparing, I was the first.”
According to the musician, the duo’s composing experience, composed of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel, would have been unique. “That unnamed record, I think would be quite spontaneous.”
“Thomas [Bangalter] he had his keyboard and even a computer program, and he was just experimenting,” he said. “He was just trying some things, we were trying to create a vibe. He was at the mixing board and I was in the studio, so I started my weird drum set… whatever he gave me, I responded and we tried to get somewhere with it.”
