PATRICK RONDAT

It is difficult to summarize Patrick RONDAT 's career , as it is so rich in musical encounters.

Coming from the hard rock scene of the 80s, he particularly distinguished himself in instrumental metal.

Six studio albums, live releases and best-ofs, tours around the world, solo, but also with the greatest (Monsters of rock, G3 at the invitation of Joe Satriani) and collaborations with other artists (Simon Philipps, Steve Lukather, without forgetting Jean-Michel Jarre, whom he accompanied on guitar for many years).

Here are some highlights from Patrick RONDAT 's long and brilliant career!

The new album Escape From Shadows will be released next May by Verycords.

The album features the musicians who have accompanied him for several years: Patrice Guers on bass, Dirk Bruinenberg on drums, and Manu Martin on keyboards. Also noteworthy, and for the first time, is a vocal track, " Now We're Home ," featuring the magnificent blues-rock voice of Gaëlle Buswel. Pascal Vigné, an excellent guitarist, contributed to the album by recording Patrick's guitar parts on several tracks and laid down a stunning solo at the end of " From Nowhere ."

This instrumental progressive hard rock album is halfway between Amphibia and An Ephemeral World.
