…For the record…

Self-taught musician born in Lyon, Baptiste Brun initially recorded a few instrumental demos before starting his career as a guitarist and composer for the progressive metal band “Stolen Memories,” with whom he released three albums.

During this time, he had a revelation about eight-string guitars, which became a hallmark of his musical identity. Baptiste then decided to evolve as a solo artist, creating his first instrumental album “Origin,” an ambitious and experimental work that blends his diverse musical influences, all dominated by his guitar playing. The album received very positive feedback, allowing him to embark on a series of concerts and gain sponsorship from major brands like Ibanez and Savarez.

Always eager to develop his music, he began working on a second conceptual album, isolating himself for several months to compose and record. He, once again played nearly all the instruments. This new album, titled “Elevatio,” explores the theme of transformation in the face of surrounding elements and the challenges one may encounter.
