Daft Punk and Todd Edwards take you back to the writing of Fragments of Time in previously unheard studio conversations

Daft Punk have released the first track from their expanded, 10th anniversary reissue of Random Access Memories, their fourth and final studio album. This takes you behind the scenes as the French duo, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, worked with Todd Edwards on the writing of Fragments of Time, the LP’s 11th track.

This isn’t a retrospective look back at how Fragments of Time was created: it turns out that, on 29 February 2012, as the song was coming together at Henson Recording Studios in LA, a tape ran for the whole session, capturing Edwards and Bangalter’s creative conversations and melodic musings as the track plays in the background.
