Rone

Throughout Rone's musical career, few things have remained as constant as his desire to explore new territories. The album Room With A View (2020) marked an opportunity for Rone to collaborate with the world of dance. The eponymous stage production, co-created with the collective (LA)HORDE and performed by the Ballet national de Marseille, was staged more than 50 times in cities including New York, Kyoto, Paris, and Venice. More recently, Rone also collaborated with choreographer Angelin Preljocaj as part of the Osaka 2025 World Expo. His film scores have been awarded both a César and a Cannes Soundtrack Award, the result of collaborations with directors such as Jacques Audiard, Xavier Giannoli, Frédéric Farrucci, and Spike Jonze. His approach to symphonic orchestration alongside arranger Romain Allender, notably with the Orchestre National de Lyon and the London Contemporary Orchestra, gave rise to the album and concert tour L(oo)ping. Rone’s most recent album, Megaptera, was composed at sea during a scientific expedition aimed at understanding the unusual reactions his music appeared to provoke in dolphins and whales. The project was inspired by a series of viral videos showing sailors playing Rone’s music in open waters, with cetaceans seemingly drawn toward the sound. The album is accompanied by the documentary film The Whale and the Musician, directed by Valentin Paoli, which chronicles the creation of the record within this singular context.
