Sixteen musical vignettes of electrifying emotion at the crossroads of ambient, modern synthesizer productions and organic orchestral music experimentation, which tint French director Jacques Audiard's new feature film with the illuminated glow of a whole new generation. When Jacques Audiard contacted him, Rone was just a few weeks away from receiving the Cesar award for best film score for his very first soundtrack Night Ride, the highest honor in French film for a composer. Throughout his career, the French director has been able to surprise his audience by playing on the codes of "genre films", while remaining faithful to the aesthetics of "art film". His cinema is both profound and entertaining, sophisticated and accessible, dark and dreamlike. His new feature film deals with youth in general and their sexuality in particular in a way no one may have done before. The story is based on four young characters and their existential questionings, whose destinies intertwined against the backdrop of the Parisian "Olympiades" high rises in the 13th arrondissement. But time was already running out, as the film was set to be nominated for Cannes' Palm D'or at the rescheduled edition of the festival in July 2021. Between the releases of Rone & Friends (IF 1060CD/LP, 2021) and recent remixes, the producer decided to lock himself away in in his brand-new Isola Studio in Cancale, French Brittany. He also invested in a large screen on which he projected loops of the film and started manipulating his gear. "I had Miles Davis in mind and the way he composed 'Ascenseur pour l'échafaud' by improvising with his band while watching excerpts from the film." After a first conclusive test on three scenes of the film which allowed Rone to showcase the skills he had developed in composition in various musical fields, a relationship of trust developed between the musician and the director, which resulted in over 45 minutes of Rone's music used for the final cut. If the black-and-white aesthetic recalls the great hours of the "Nouvelle Vague", Rone's music gives a new layer to the film which fits resolutely with 2020's zeitgeist.
