Renaud-Gabriel Pion is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who cultivates an alternative attitude and divides his time between Paris and Berlin.
He studied history of arts and archaeology at Sorbonne university.
RGP works with modern and baroque woodwinds as in a continuous breath, considered as instruments in transformation. By combining acoustics and electronics, he BROADENS this field creating resonances where induced gestures, eras, and forms of improvisation converse. His composition which he calls harmodal, extends this perception in a style made of mirrors, layers, and variations.
PION has published several exploratory albums, with Radio France, or in cooperation.
HE has worked for films, for the theater and contemporary dance and composed a hybrid opera (2023) as a scholarship holder of Beaumarchais-SACD.
RGP worked with the likes of Dead can dance, john cale, ryuichi sakamoto, arto lindsay, bob wilson and cocorosie, or anohni & the johnsons.
Between intuition and technique, he works in a plurality: in 2026 for live shows with BMG artist Gavin Friday and with trumpeter Erik Truffaz; as composer-sound designer for a french-Japanese animated film; in solo creation on baroque/renaissance instruments; in duo collaboration with the contemporary guitar or the piano.
