Esthesis
is a progressive & alternative rock project formed and led by French multi-instrumentalist Aurélien Goude (music, lyrics, keyboards, vocals, guitars, bass and other stuff). 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, electronic music...) and primarily based on emotion and ambiences. After a first sold out EP in 2019 ("Raising Hands"), Esthesis released a debut album in November 2020 ("The Awakening"). "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"). ​

A new single, "Place Your Bets", has been released on 15th June 2022, with a brand new music video. The track will feature on the upcoming and highly anticipated album "Watching Worlds Collide", to be released on 19th August 2022. The new Esthesis album will be produced and distributed by the independent label and music production company Misty Tones, founded by Aurélien Goude.
