Molécule

Discussion between Molecule and Philippe Esling

For this fourth session, offered for the first time in binaural audio, for an optimal headphone listening experience, we welcome Molécule (Romain De La Haye), a major figure in French electronic music and widely known as “the pioneer of nomadic electronic music.”

A producer, DJ and adventurer, Molécule captures sounds from the real world: from the waves of Portugal to the ice fields of Greenland to the depths of the North Atlantic, transforming them into compositions that merge music, nature, and technology. From 60°43 Nord and –22.7 °C to his recent RE-201, he continuously explores the elements and pushes the boundaries of sound creation.

Programme 

A live performance, followed by a presentation of the AI technologies from the ACIDS project (Axel Chemla-Romeo-Santos, Philippe Esling, Nils Demerle et David Genova), developed at IRCAM.

For several months, the artist-in-residence has been exploring various programs combining AI, signal processing, and spatial sound to create an original work, which will premiere at the CDA in Enghien-les-Bains in March 2026.

During this session, Molécule will offer a glimpse of his work-in-progress composition, using IRCAM technologies such as SKataRT, After, Rave, Spat/Panoramix, and SoMax2.
