MARATHON! at CENTQUATRE promises an evening dedicated to electronic explorations, bringing together artists recognized for their singular approach to live music. Expect a sonic immersion where textures and rhythms meet.

The CENTQUATRE welcomes MARATHON!, an event that highlights the diversity and richness of the current electronic scene. At the heart of this programming, Rival Consoles, real name Ryan Lee West, is an English composer and musician whose work is characterized by melodic and textured electronics. Since his beginnings on the Erased Tapes label, he has developed a recognizable style, often described as a meeting between IDM and a more organic approach to composition. His albums, such as 'Persona' or 'Articulation', are examples of his ability to create complex and emotional sonic landscapes, where synthesizers and rhythmic sequences intertwine with great finesse. His music, which has found its place in varied contexts, from contemporary dance to film scores, is appreciated for its depth and inventiveness.

Molécule, aka Romain Delahaye, is a French electronic musician and DJ renowned for his bold projects and recordings in extreme environments. He notably recorded albums in the open ocean, like '60° 43' North', or in the desert, thus exploring the impact of the environment on sonic creation. This singular approach gives him a strong artistic identity, where experimentation and immersion are central. His music, often tinged with minimal techno and ambient, is an invitation to travel and contemplation, built from captured and transformed sounds. On stage, Molécule is known for performances that combine rhythmic power and enveloping atmospheres, offering a complete sensory experience.

The evening will also see the participation of Cabaret Contemporain, a collective that reinvents the codes of electronic music by using acoustic instruments to create sounds usually associated with machines. Their hybrid approach and stage energy are elements that distinguish their performances. Links and Anee Molly complete this lineup, each bringing their own color to this electronic panorama. Links is an artist whose productions sit at the crossroads between techno and ambient, while Anee Molly offers sets where sonic textures and rhythms blend with subtlety.
