about

Paul Pignon was born and grew up in the UK. Began playing jazz at 15. Studied physics at Oxford. While there in 1961 he made his first forays into non-idiomatic improvisation, abandoned Ph.D research at Oxford in favour of music. He moved to Yugoslavia and co-founded the Radio Belgrade Electronic Studio: 14 years working with the Synthi 100 which was originally custom built for the Studio.
Active as composer of chamber, vocal electronic and improvised music there, leading the group Interaction.

lyrics

After helping to found the Electronic Studio at Radio Belgrade I worked there for some 14 years teaching, making my own music, assisting other composers and making incidental music and sound effects for various radio programmes, on the Synthi 100.
I also wrote a comprehensive manual for the Synthi 100.
In about 1984 I produced a composition called Mechanical Cartoons and then one called Play Me where I began to develop what I now call Zoetic Engines. On « Neznam » my zoetic engines are getting lively at dokumenta 14 in Athens 2018. They respond to sounds picked up by a microphone, from people visiting the venue, and/or to me playing to them.
