Ever since he debuted on InFiné in 2008, Castex has pushed a style of music that's as cinematic as it is melancholic. Tohu Bohu (French for 'hurly burly') drops three years after his first LP, Spanish Breakfast. In the years since then, Castex has moved from Paris to Berlin, a change that he says affected his state of mind and creative process, if not his taste in music. He explains:
'Even though Tohu Bohu was made entirely in Germany, I don't think I have been influenced by any of the music that gets played here, at Berghain say. But if it had been made in Paris, I think it would be a completely different album. I'm always a bit anxious, stressed out in Paris. In Berlin, I'm much calmer, far more relaxed. That's the kind of influence Berlin has been having on me, day after day, as a musician.'
The album shows Castex working once again with Vladimir Mavounia Kouka, an illustrator and director who's short film La Femme a Cordes featured a soundtrack by Rone. Kouka designed the album's cover art and overall 'visual identity,' which you can see in the trailer below. Castex is also working on a visually enhanced live show with Studio Fünf, who produced the animated video for his 2011 track 'So So So.'
RONE (otherwise known as Erwan Castex) is one of the most acclaimed French musicians on the electronic scene. He studied film at university and worked on a number of productions whilst pursuing music in his spare time. InFiné came across some of his tracks on the web (“Bora”) and got in touch with him. From then on, things went very fast: he released his debut EP (2008), performed his first live show at the Rex Club and released his first album, ‘Spanish Breakfast’, in 2009. With the release of ‘Tohu Bohu’ in the autumn of 2012, things reached a whole new high. Now living in Berlin, the artist’s creative juices seem to be flowing like never before, combining a melodic straightforwardness with the firmly harnessed power of analog soundscapes.
The album has made Rone a cult figure in his own country, gracing the cover of one magazine after the other and being saluted by Trax magazine three times in 2012 (Best French Artist, Best French Album and Best Music Video). French music legend Jean Michel Jarre has been effusive in his praise for the young man. His videos for “Parade” and “Bye Bye Macadam” have been picked up worldwide. His live performances have developed into a large-scale sound and vision show entitled “Module”, bringing together the various video-makers (including Studio Fünf, Dimitri Stankowicz and Valdimir Mavounia- Kouka) and stage technicians who have played a key part in defining Rone’s visual identity.
‘Tohu Bohu’ also revealed Rone’s openness to experimentation, including a hip hop inspired track with vocals from High Priest from Antipop Consortium (“Let`s Go”) and a beautiful collaboration with cellist Gaspard Claus (“Icare”).
While in Berlin, Bryce Dessner asked Rone to add his electronic and production flourishes to the new album by The National’s (‘Trouble Will Find Me’ released in May 2013 4AD)., joining an esteemed roll- call of collaborators on the record, including Sufjan Stevens, St Vincent, Richard Parry (Arcade Fire) and Mona Marie Invie (Dark Dark Dark).
“Tohu Bonus” is a six-track collection: two alternative versions, three new pieces and one interlude. An essential companion to the original album and and looking forward to the next step in the Rone discography. “With each new release, I feel I’m getting closer to striking the balance I’m aiming for between spontaneity and technique”.
“Tag” single-handedly embodies this new-found harmony in composition, being rougher, more sin- gular and less indebted to post-production tricks. “I’m very proud of this track. It was completed in the space of two hours and I wouldn’t change anything about it”. The boy’s passion for bright, light- catching interludes won’t come as a surprise either. “If I could make an interlude- only album, I would. They are not subject to structural constraints and there is a real freshness about them.” In their primary form, they make perfect album closers (“Shadows”). Several minutes longer, they become glorious ambient introductions (“Room 16 - 18”). Sometimes, they take on the shape of a simple, short and cat- chy loop; one such track caught the ear of drumming powerhouse John Stanier (Battles/Tomahawk/ Helmet) leading to intense studio collaboration session and producing standout track “Pool”.
