Daft Punk

The amazing band that I chose for this project is called Daft Punk. The album that I chose from this band is called Random Access Memory. The album came out in May 17, 2013.

The band never sings directly, they either don’t sing or they put an electronic twist on their singing. But if…

Journal Entry 9: Daft Punk Around the World – Maria Luiza Perez Chavez Sometimes over analyzing something is incorrect, or not quite right, in Daft Punks "around the world" music video I found my self at a loss as to what to analyze. I was trying to think critically like what do the colors mean? What are they meaning to say? Is there a pattern that I should be following? Or a hidden meaning? Then I watched it for fun and I was thinking what if it is just a clear and to the point video of going…

Musicians create music for many reasons. They write songs about love and songs about the loss of love. Some create songs to brag about how much material possessions they have or to express their own personal happiness.

The inherent grain with the film is kept intact and the grittiness of the punk rock future is a beaut. The audio is also pumping out that amazing soundtrack with no issues. The Special Features aren't exactly what I call very informative when it comes to the film itself. There are a couple neat special features that involve Director XXX early work. You have an interesting documentary from the 70s on the work of stuntmen in the industry. You also have a short PSA directed by XXX on the dangers…

CH19 Question 2 The core stylistic feature of punk rock is that it highly values the simplicity, volume, and speed. The volume and speed contribute its another feature, which is the attraction toward the young generation's attention, because it constructs an anger and rebellion feeling that matches the generation's emotional. On the other hand, the simplicity of punk rock gives it an amateur energy that the textbook state it as "do it yourself (DIY) attitude" (473). Moreover, simplicity is…
