New York Sketches appartient sans doute à la catégorie des disques-concepts. Il s’agit réellement d’une suite de séquences sonores comme la bande son d’un film imaginaire, savant travail de studio où la musique (qui mérite l’écoute car elle est réussie) s’associe aux sons de la vie et de la ville. Renaud-Gabriel Pion s’affirme comme un metteur en scène inspiré de sons et de mélodies.
