Renaud-Gabriel Pion is a composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist on modern and Baroque woodwinds, who cultivates an alternative attitude and divides his time between Paris and Berlin.
He studied history of arts and archaeology at Sorbonne university. His British and Eastern European ancestry have shaped his inspiration.
His largely self-taught career is that of a Western classical musician liberated by other music genres. His composition owes as much to modal cultures as to the post-minimalist movement.
The complementarity of the electronic woodwind e.w.i opened another path for him towards new gestures and what he calls harmodal writing.
He has published several personal albums with Radio France, or in collaboration.
RGP has worked for films, for the theater and contemporary dance and composed an opera (2023) as a scholarship holder of Beaumarchais-SACD.
he also received his training working with 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; as composer for a french-Japanese animated film; in solo creation on ancient instruments; in collaboration with guitarist Christian Lavernier or pianist alban claudin; with trumpeter Erik Truffaz for a new project in Spain.
