Spiritus

This release serves as a birth certificate of the Ensemble 1529: like a historic date for a music that is constructed as a memory of the eternal present, delving into ancient music and it's spiritual dimension, but also into a quest for a modernity of unfathomable space. With this recorded opus, Renaud-Gabriel Pion explores new sound territories where the providential accident is paramount. Renaud Gabriel Pion is a composer, clarinetist and improvisational musician who divides his time between Paris and Berlin. Classically trained but also largely self-taught, he is currently studying the baroque bassoon in the crr de Paris. He plays augmented instruments (bass & contrabass clarinets, Turkish clarinet, saxophones, bass flute, English horn, nyckelharpa, e.w.i and piano, using real-time electronics).
