Sitting by his Piano, he explains the album&#8217;s harmonic landscape he was asked to create and musically dissects Daft Punk and their new album.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Gonzales notices that Daft Punk have &#8220;absorbed a lot of what classical composers were obsessed with, which is that musical key dictates so much of what someone feels.&#8221; He continues to explain his role as a &#8220;cameo actor,&#8221; and that he was playing blindly while directed by the great lead actors that are Daft Punk.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They&#8217;re a very warm, familiar group despite their mysterious image. Every musician feels an emotional connection to them and we always have the feelings that they&#8217;re ahead of us. They don&#8217;t really need any help, so when they ask for help it&#8217;s because they&#8217;re on such a high level and so advanced and have such good awareness, that they can ask for help for certain details that will make the work be transcendent.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chilly Gonzales breaks down science of &#8216;Random Access Memories,&#8217;
