Rone
In 10 years of career Erwan Castex, aka Rone, has established
himself as a key figure in the French electronic music scene, always seeking to
cross the boundaries of electronic music. After a singular live performance at
the Philharmonie de Paris in 2017 - for which he won the Prix
des Indés - he proposes for the program «Variations», a
reinterpretation of works by composer Benjamin Britten, accompanied by
the Maîtrise de Radio France and its choir director Sofi Jeannin.
His music has also become a manifest ally of global environmental advocacy
from sailor Hugo Picard, aka The Sailing Frenchman who uses his tracks to
communicate with whales and dolphins, to Greta Thunberg for one of her
warning videos.
The collaboration with (LA)Horde in Room with a view gave
origin to an eponymous album, the fifth in his
career. Rone has also composed the soundtrack
of Frédéric Farrucci’s feature La Nuit venue, for
which he won the César award for best original music in March 2021.
