Guillaume Poncelet

Guillaume Poncelet evolves in an ever-expanding hybrid sound universe.

The upright piano was the instrument of his first compositions.

As a child, he spent hours experimenting, searching and assembling sound textures. Today, he records them, using the mute, the thin strip of felt that makes the piano “whisper”.

Collaborating with numerous artists, he now explores solo – at the piano – the sphere of minimalist neo-classical music with deep, subtle nuances.

A self-taught trumpeter, Guillaume Poncelet (b. 1978) composes and produces albums for Ben Mazué, Gaël Faye, Michel Jonasz and Thomas Azier.

A former member of the Orchestre National de Jazz, he regularly tours with other artists.

In 2018, he released his critically acclaimed debut solo album, 88, followed by the Haven EP in 2021.

A composer for film, he co-wrote the soundtrack for Nabil Ayouch’s Razzia and François Uzan’s first feature film, On sourit pour la photo, released in May 2022.
