Piéchaud studied the piano and organ under the tutelage of Claude Helffer and Gilles Harlé. He takes special interest in silent cinema and performs ciné-concerts regularly at the Louvre museum in Paris. Piéchaud is also an expert in music technology and, as a developer, works closely with the companies ‘MakeMusic’ and ‘IRCAM’.
