Description

Molécule is a French artist, musician, and sound explorer whose radical approach involves embarking on expeditions to record nature in situ and transform these raw materials into music. Aboard a fishing trawler in the Atlantic Ocean, he created *60°43’ Nord* from the violent sounds of a raging sea and the daily lives of sailors. In Greenland, he composed *–22.7 °C* in the heart of the pack ice, capturing the silence, polar winds, and even the cracking of the ice itself. In Nazaré, he immersed himself in the world of giant waves, translating the ocean’s raw energy into sound. Situated at the crossroads of technology, environmental issues, and sound creation, Molécule champions an innovative and committed artistic vision. Constantly pushing technical boundaries, he designs and experiments with advanced recording and production systems to broaden the possibilities of sound capture. In an era where many artists are shaped by standardized formats, Molécule distinguishes himself through an authentic and immersive practice, rooted in real-world experience. His work is built through direct contact with the elements and places he inhabits, giving rise to a unique body of work shaped by the physical reality of the world. This project presents a selection of studio productions developed in parallel with Molécule’s field recording expeditions. He unveils five new tracks, revealing his techno DNA in its rawest and most radical form. Conceived for the dancefloor, these high-impact productions are characterized by incisive BPMs and stripped-down energy, and were released on Lumière Noire, the label founded by Chloé.
