Infine Music

Rone is a French producer of electronic music. Originally working as a filmmaker, he discovered his passion for music and began composing his first creations in between shoots.

His unique sound has drawn comparisons to other talented artists such as *Agoria*, *CHLOE (Thévenin)*, *Max Cooper*, and *Joris Delacroix*. With influences ranging from *Dominik Eulberg* to *Nathan Fake*, Rone's music captivates listeners with its innovative blend of electronic beats and melodic harmonies.

Whether collaborating with fellow musicians like *Scratch Massive* and *Arnaud Rebotini*, or pushing the boundaries of his own creativity, Rone continues to make waves in the electronic music scene. His work can be described as an immersive experience that transports listeners into a world where sound knows no limits.

Founded in 2006 by a team of music enthusiasts, InFiné is an independent label that has expanded its reach to Paris, Berlin, and beyond. With a diverse range of influences including contemporary classical, rock, pop, techno, electronica, R&B, and traditional music, the label has welcomed and supported artists from all over the world for over 15 years. From Rone to Bruce Brubaker to Cubenx and more, InFiné is known for its adventurous spirit and commitment to diversity and innovation. Despite the departure of [a14539] in 2011 as A&R manager, the label continues to thrive as a unique creation platform driven by passionate "Music Activists".

L(oo)ping is a story that began with great trepidation and an initial polite refusal and may have never have been told. Even for Rone, who’s used to making bold moves, the orchestra had always seemed a step too far.‘

Motion’ laid the groundwork for L(oo)ping, a journey in which Romain Allender (who worked The Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson and The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro amongst others) acted as a creative translator for Rone. Leafing through Rone’s repertoire he selected the tracks that would better lend themselves for symphonic reinterpretations.

The eleven pieces chosen each mark a different stage in Rone’s trajectory, from one of his first-ever productions, ‘Bora’, born in a studio flat in Paris in 2008 when he was still a student, all the way to the soundtrack composed for the 2022 short-film, ‘Ghosts’, written by Spike Jonze, directed and performed by (LA)HORDE. L(oo)ping isn’t just an orchestral re-telling of Rone’s work, however. New life has been breathed into the music through Allender’s arrangements as well as Rone’s own interaction with the Orchestre National de Lyon and conductor Dirk Brossé.

There’s a rich dramaturgy to the music, but not once does the acoustic trample on the electronic nor vice-versa. Rather, L(oo)ping manages to achieve an elegant and playful tight-rope balance between both voices that keeps listeners hooked on suspense and surprise.
