As a whole,  “L’Accouchement”  is an elegant piece which has well played instrumentation that captures the feeling of being at a ballet performance. The soft and delicate sounds coming from the instruments brings a feeling of peace and hope for those who are listening. Surely Bangalter is a professional with his work because his talents can be felt through the orchastra’s  beautiful performance.

In 2003 Bangalter released his last solo album called Outrage then in 202 the artist announced that he was writing the score for the Mythologies ballet, then a  few months after he and his formerband mate Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo announced that Daft Punk have broken up for good.
