In April 2023, Bangalter released a solo work, the orchestral ballet score ''[[Mythologies (ballet)|Mythologies]]''. He gave interviews about the project and allowed himself to be photographed without a mask. He cited concerns about the progress of [[artificial intelligence]] and other technology as to why Daft Punk split, saying: "As much as I love this character, the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot." Bangalter said Daft Punk had wanted to not "spoil the narrative" while they were active, but now felt more comfortable revealing parts of their creative process.<ref name=":4">{{Cite news |last=Savage |first=Mark |date=2023-04-03 |title=Life after Daft Punk: Thomas Bangalter on ballet, AI and ditching the helmet |language=en-GB |work=[[BBC News]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65140938 |access-date=2023-04-04 |archive-date=14 September 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230914104821/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65140938 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite news |last=Woolfe |first=Zachary |date=2023-04-03 |title=Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter Reveals Himself: As a Composer |language=en-US |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/arts/music/thomas-bangalter-daft-punk-mythologies.html |access-date=2023-04-04 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=4 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404155708/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/arts/music/thomas-bangalter-daft-punk-mythologies.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Reflecting on the split, Bangalter said he was "relieved and happy to look back and say: 'Okay, we didn't mess it up too much.'"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thomas Bangalter on ending Daft Punk: "I'm relieved to look back and say 'Ok, we didn't mess it up too much'" |url=https://mixmag.net/read/thomas-bangalter-ending-daft-punk-split-guy-man-helmets-news |access-date=2023-08-03 |website=Mixmag |archive-date=3 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230803225459/https://mixmag.net/read/thomas-bangalter-ending-daft-punk-split-guy-man-helmets-news |url-status=live }}</ref>
