Jean-Baptiste Cognet
Biography Jean-Baptiste Cognet
Jean-Baptiste Cognet
is a french musician based in Lyon (France).
He's graduated from Lyon conservatory and Lyon "Lumière" university.
Member and founder of Act of Beauty, Memorial*, and Shining Victims, Jean-Baptiste Cognet also collaborates as a composer and performer for plays and movies.
His work feeds on ambient sensations, noise textures, lyrical synthesizers, while giving pride of place to the legacy claimed from pop to cold wave.
From large ensembles (the fresco Nous qui avions perdu le monde for 10 musicians) to small bands (Act of Beauty solo, or Walter Dean trio), his music evolves through an unbridled and reverberated psychedelic language, which combines rage and romanticism.
