Laurent Marode is a French composer and sound artist renowned for his deeply atmospheric and often unsettling electronic music. Beginning his career in the early 2000s, Marode initially gained recognition within the dark ambient and industrial scenes, releasing on influential labels like Cold Spring Records. His work distinguishes itself through meticulous sound design, incorporating field recordings, processed instrumentation, and a strong emphasis on textural exploration.

Beyond album releases, Marode composes scores for film and performance art.
