The striking composer and performer is known for his live improvised saxophone explorations and inventive techniques in creating new rhythms, textures and moods. Through improvisation, sonic manipulation, reprocessing and looping – whether in the studio or on the stage – his spontaneous yet intuitive approach and collaborative nature make him more than a sax player. Having worked for Gabriel Prokofiev's contemporary-classical label and events circuit, Nonclassical, he is now a prominent player among a new breed of experimental artists with a focus on his immersive solo show. He has also performed with improv ritual EP/64, Charles Hayward, Rupert Clervaux, the enigmatic Coby Sey, Jacob Samuel, Lucinda Chua and has been part of experimental post-punk band, Housewives. Vince has also notable studio collaborations with electronic producer Joy Orbison, Oscar-nominated experimental pop artist/composer Micachu (aka Mica Levi), and many others in the experimental sphere including Visionist, Mark Sanders and Gigi Masin. After having released five solo albums in three years that have been celebrated by the likes of Pitchfork, The Wire, The Guardian, Vince is an exceptional artist and exemplary of a new London.
