Biography

Gaspard Vaude is a French progressive metal and instrumental fusion guitarist, composer, and producer. Emerging from the modern European progressive guitar scene, Vaude gained widespread attention for his hyper-precise hybrid picking, rhythmic polyrhythms, extended-range guitar phrasing, and atmospheric, cinematic production style.

Balancing technical fretboard athleticism with expressive melodic storytelling, his compositions blend djent-driven syncopation, jazz-fusion harmonic voicings, and lush electronic textures. In addition to releasing solo instrumental music and guitar playthroughs, Vaude is active as a session guitarist, arranger, and digital guitar tone designer.
