Esthesis is a progressive & alternative rock project formed and led by French multi-instrumentalist Aurélien Goude (music, lyrics, keyboards, vocals, guitars and bass). The current line up is composed of three other musicians : Baptiste Desmares (lead guitar), Marc Anguill (bass) and Arnaud Nicolau (drums).

 

Esthesis music is characterized by many influences (british rock, film score, jazz, ambient, metal, electro...) and primarily based on emotion and ambiences. After a first EP in 2019 ("Raising Hands"), they released their highly anticipated debut album in November 2020 ("The Awakening") in two CD editions, digital and streaming. Their first tour in France at the end of 2021 was very well received by the audience, with a dedicated and synchronized light show for each gig. "The Awakening" has been acclaimed by many rock magazines around the world and Esthesis won the Prog Magazine Reader's Poll in December 2020 ("best unsigned band 2020").

 

Aurelien Goude is currently working on two new albums and will be on tour with Esthesis in 2022 and 2023. They will play the famous Poppodium Boerderij, in the Netherlands, on 03/09/22.
