ARNAUD QUEVEDO & FRIENDS

From Magma to King Crimson via Gong or Nobuo Uematsu, Arnaud Quevedo's influences are numerous. Originally from La Rochelle where he has returned to settle, his sometimes lyrical, sometimes jazzy, often funky universe, including obsessive loops and a few heavy riffs, remains firmly anchored in a progressive jazz-rock style. As soon as the opportunity arises, dance, theater or the visual arts are associated with the music he composes and conceives as a project in its own right: Grunky, OniZ, Le Voyage de Roan, or Electric Tales. A multi-faceted chameleon musician, he alternates instruments according to the projects and his audience can discover him in turn on guitar, vocals, bass, keyboards, drums or even saxophone - and sometimes all this at the same time. times in these "one man band" videos.
