Romain De La Haye, known professionally as Molécule, is a French electronic musician. He has been nicknamed "the pioneer of nomadic electronic music" for his field recording trips to places such as the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Circle and the beaches of Portugal.[1]

Biography

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 studying in 2010 to dedicate himself entirely to music.[2]

In 2015, he released 60° 43' Nord after staying on a trawler in the North Atlantic[3], followed by -22.7° C, recorded during an expedition to Greenland in 2018. -22.7° C was also turned into a documentary, a VR experience and a fulldome movie.[4]

For his album Nazaré released in 2020 on the Ed Banger label, Molécule went to the Portuguese coast to follow surfers chasing waves that can reach heights beyond 20 meters.[5]

In 2020, the artist 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.[6] 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 places as human beings on Earth and in the universe.[7]

In May 2021, he was winched by helicopter to the lighthouse of Tévennec for an artistic residence, during which the album Tévennec was made.[8]

In 2022, he worked with The Absolute Company Creation and used on stage a device detecting his brain activity to turn it into music.[9]

In 2023, the National Orchestra of Lille played Quantique, De la Haye's first symphony, for the Lille Piano(s) Festival.[10]
