Rone

Throughout his musical career, which began in 2007, few things have remained as constant as Rone’s desire to explore new territories. Five studio albums and as many solo tours have taken him around the world, without the French electronic composer and producer ever ceasing to venture into new artistic landscapes. The album Room With A View (2020) marked an opportunity for Rone to collaborate with dance. The eponymous stage production, co-written with the collective (LA)HORDE and performed by the Ballet national de Marseille, was staged more than 50 times across 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 a César and a Cannes Soundtrack Award, the result of collaborations with directors such as Jacques Audiard, Xavier Giannoli, Frédéric Farrucci, and Spike Jonze. The musician, who graduated in cinema from the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, has, in short, never lost his love for the seventh art. His approach to symphonic orchestration alongside arranger Romain Allender (with the Orchestre National de Lyon or the London Contemporary Orchestra) gave rise to the album and concert tour L(oo)ping. Rone’s most recent work now brings him in front of the camera with The Whale and the Musician, a film directed by Valentin Paoli that follows him on a singular quest: attempting a musical dialogue with whales. At the crossroads of documentary and contemporary fable, the film offers an immersive experience of listening and wonder, confronting the mystery of living beings. Its release in mid-June 2026 will be accompanied by Megaptera, an original soundtrack inspired by the film.
