Fragments of Time

"Fragments of Time" is a song by written, produced, and performed by French electronic music duo Daft Punk and American musician Todd Edwards.

At the studio, Edwards was asked to implement his signature "cut-up" method of music production for a portion of "Fragments of Time", which ultimately served as the chorus section.

Nathan East and James Genus performed on bass while Omar Hakim played drums and Quinn provided percussion.

In addition to the lead synthesizer played by Daft Punk, the song includes pedal steel guitar work by Greg Leisz.
