Ben Vince

Sophomore album from minimalist improviser, Ben Vince. Monuments comes into an age of global uncertainty, demanding a response. From an axis of improvisation, Vince’s saxophone works embrace the contours of more dynamic, emotive landscapes where rich motifs coalesce and feel their way around each other. In a departure from the more rigid looping of his debut, The Purge, this album explores much more progressive minimalist structures that undulate in and out of phase whilst not being afraid to suddenly warp or elevate unexpectedly. With 4 tracks spanning almost 35 minutes of music, each one is a journey into glacial melodies, drones and velvet-like pitched bass tones, which sound even more lush on vinyl.

Ben Vince is also an active DJ, performer and improviser, in demand for solo gigs, supporting the finest experimental acts old and new, including Keiji Haino and Tomaga. Known to be involved in live projects with label-mates Housewives, Charles Hayward (of This Heat) and with NTS-selector and rising-star, Coby Sey.
