Daft Punk tribute act

[russell]

Just seen this advertised on facebook.... Personally I don't think there is a need for such a thing to exist...

Not entirely sure how they're gonna go about this with terms to re-ceating the tracks etc.

I suppose there's a need.

Everyone wants moar daft punk but how can you live up to that

But it's not quite the same as recreating a band. A band tribute act you have guitarists, drummer etc...

The concept of this seem ridiculous. It's be interesting to know if Daft Punk were aware of this. They charge 80k each for permission to copy their helmets.....

Uummmmmmmmm

My thoughts.....................................

......................GLASS THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No 1 should try and redo daft punk

well, the dj's would just spin tracks, you're right

so it'd be about the stage show etc

otherwise it's just stupid

and your never exactly gonna be able to match their stage show... or come close to it.

exactly, cause the way they do it is all live, I have no idea just how they do it, I've seen a few YouTube clips of it but it's definitely live

1. ABLETON

“The show revolves around Ableton Live software on custom made super-computers, which we remotely access and control with Behringer BCR2000 midi controllers.” (for those not familiar with Ableton, there’s a really good tutorial DVD available quite cheaply – view here)

2. SCREENS

“Next to the ethernet remote computer screens there are four Minimoog Voyagers, the classic analog synthesizers. They’re a 30-year old design.”

3. MOOGS

“We can mix, shuffle, trigger loops, filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and deconstruct synth lines. We keep some surprises on the side too!”

4. VISUALS

“There’s a direct connection between our rig and the lights and visuals of the show. The light and video engineers can also add or control layers during the show.”

5. SYNTHS

“Inside the pyramid are synthesizers and remote controls connected to the rest of the music equipment and computers, which are in rack-mounted towers off stage.”

6. TEAMWORK

“Working the music equipment, lighting and video equipment, and building the pyramid for each show takes around 10 people, including both of us.”

Not mentioned in the original Mixmag article, an important component of Daft Punk’s live setup is the fantastic Jazz Mutant Lemur. The Lemur is an innovative input device to control computer real-time applications. It combines a distinctive industrial design, a brilliant modular graphic interface concept, and a unique and patented touchscreen technology that can track multiple fingers simultaneously.
