A24 Podcast: Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) and Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) at MCM's Vodcast Studio

We had the pleasure of hosting Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) and Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) in our Manhattan vodcast studio for the latest episode of The A24 Podcast — a two-hour conversation between two composers about what it actually takes to score a film.

Per A24, the episode covers:

• Devonté's cello score as the fifth lead in The Invite

• Daft Punk working with an 85-piece orchestra on Tron: Legacy (also starring Olivia Wilde)

• Finding the magic chemistry between strings and dialogue

• Monophonic vs. polyphonic

• A great note from a Disney executive

• Extreme precision, and the true effort it takes to bring soul to synthesizers

• Composing the Mythologies ballet score before the choreography existed

• Random Access Memories being made like a film without cameras

• The 250 tracks on Daft Punk's "Touch"

• Spending two years with just a piano and a GoPro

• Restoring Electroma in 35mm for Tribeca Film Festival

• Curiosity as an antidote to the algorithm
