Room With A View

Description

Room With A View, the 5th album by Rone, is a true turning point in the career of the French artist. A leading figure in sensitive and poetic electro, Rone has managed to win over a large and loyal audience throughout his career.
Based on a carte blanche offered to him by the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Rone designed this album around a show directed and choreographed by the collective (LA) HORDE, accompanied by 20 dancers from the Ballet National de Marseille. This new form of collaboration allowed him to explore what is most sincere and profound in his music. Nourished by debates around collapsology and climate change, Room With A View provides material to think about one of humanity's greatest urgencies.
Rone sheds new light on what makes his signature, a new day, satisfying both his longtime fans and lovers of electronica. The melodic beats of “Ginkgo Biloba” coexist with tracks that have openly more classical influences, such as Boards of Canada (with “La Marbrerie”) or Aphex Twin from the SAW-era (with “Raverie”), as well as euphoric dancefloor rhythms nestled alongside resolutely contemplative synths. In this regard, “Sophora Japonica” demonstrates Rone's exceptional talent for creating atmospheres, even going so far as to completely forgo drums. Elsewhere, Rone reconnects with the club energy of his album Tohu Bohu and incorporates elements of dub. Everything points to an adventurous and stimulating listening experience.
