On 14 January 2017, Rone performed a bespoke piece at the
Philharmonie de Paris for which he invited various guest artists: the drummer John Stanier of the group Battles, the science-fiction writer
Alain Damasio, and the leader of
Frànçois and The Atlas Mountains François Marry. On 23 March 2017, Castex received the French honorary decoration of Chevalier de l'
Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. On 3 November 2017, Rone released his fourth album
Mirapolis. The title was inspired by his childhood memories at the
Mirapolis theme park, which closed in 1991. For
Mirapolis, Castex pushed further his collaborative work, working alongside film director
Michel Gondry who illustrated the album cover. His fourth album also includes various international collaborators:
John Stanier, the drummer from
Battles (formerly also
Helmet), Kazu Makino from the vocal trio
Blonde Redhead,
Bryce Dessner, the guitarist of
The National, and
Baxter Dury. == 2020:
