The grain of voice for Daft Punk, there is actually no “voice” as such, because it’s mainly electronic Dance Music. However, some songs, including the song we are doing “Digital Love” does feature lyrics and a voice. The voice is not a real voice, it’s a robotic voice created using a talk box. How a talk box works is, it’s a plastic tube which sound travels up into the mouth and as you mouth words the sound coming up the tube echos around the noise creating the words you mime. This has become Daft Punks grain of voice. The biggest hits that made the voice famous are songs such as “One More Time” and “Technologic”.
How the voice evocates power is through the meta narrative. The fact that the voice is a synthesised robotic voice, fits with the image of a secret identity. Daft Punk don’t want to be seen or recognised, including recognised by their voice. So through this technique of voice they still keep their secret identities intact to the public.
How the audience takes the voice of Daft Punk is its lack of intimacy with the audience. Daft Punk’s music is based around an “alternate reality” or a “trance world”. Basically through the use of drugs you can communicate with Daft Punk’s voice. This is why the voice is so synthesised and robotic, so the audience can communicate to Daft Punk through other means.
