Biography

[edit]

De La Haye was born in 1979 in Grenoble, France. He released his first album, In Dub V1.0, in 2006 while studying sociology and psychology. He gave up his studies in 2010 to dedicate himself entirely to music.[1]

In 2015, he released 60° 43' Nord after staying on a trawler in the North Atlantic[2], followed by -22.7°C, recorded during an expedition to Greenland in 2018. -22.7°C was also made into a documentary, a VR experience and a fulldome movie[3]. In 2019, for his EP Nazaré, Molécule went to the Portuguese coast to follow surfers chasing waves that can reach heights beyond 20 meters.[4] The EP was released in 2020 on the Ed Banger label.

In 2020, De La Haye set up 16 microphones and 13 cameras on French sailor Thomas Ruyant's boat for the Vendée Globe yacht race. Every morning on the radio, Molécule related the competition, using sounds sent through by Ruyant from the sea[5]. From these recordings, he co-directed the movie 29 173 NM, named after the distance traveled by Ruyant, for which he also composed the original soundtrack.

He explained about this experience:

I've always had, in my creative process, the idea to confront the might of the elements. Maybe because I'm searching for an authority I haven't received. I like how nature sets its boundaries, its conditions, and puts us back in our place as human beings on Earth and in the universe.[6]

In May 2021, he stayed in the isolated Tévennec Lighthouse and made the album Tévennec[7].

In 2022, he worked with The Absolut Company Creation and used a device detecting his brain activity to turn it into music live on stage.[8]

In 2023, the National Orchestra of Lille played Quantique, De La Haye's first symphony, for the Lille Piano(s) Festival.[9]
