BEN VINCE

BEN VINCE (Hessle Audio/Ecstatic/Where To Now?) is a composer and performer, known for his live improvised saxophone explorations and inventive techniques in creating new rhythms, textures and moods.

Through improvisation, sonic manipulation, reprocessing and looping, his spontaneous yet intuitive approach and collaborative nature surpasses the seeming limitations of his primary instrument. He is a prominent player among a new breed of experimental artists with focus on his immersive solo show, as well as having performed with improv ritual EP/64, Charles Hayward, Coby Sey, Valentina Magaletti and part of experimental post-punk band, Housewives.

Vince has also notable studio collaborations with electronic producer Joy Orbison, Mica Levi, and many others spread across the experimental sphere including Sugai Ken, Rat Heart, Mark Sanders, Alpha Maid and Gigi Masin.

MILK EYED SIGH

MILK EYED SIGH is a new collaboration comprising of long-time spars Cameron Molloy and Carl Brown. The live show also involves Luke French. The debut EP ?Dog Verses? is was released in early Feb via Glint Music.

An exercise in improvisation in which the duo build singular collage worlds using live turntable sampling techniques with effects, countered by sporadic kit percussion in a rapid-fire conversational manner. Microscopic sampled fragments are spun into buggy, staccato melodies that provide an almost-ambient bed of unlikely tones and textures for Molloy to freely and playfully respond to on the kit.

?We wanted to make something from loops and a drum kit that reflected where our perspectives meet. Something steady but constantly disrupted, like life. Without any real regard for tonality and timing, just a raw expression in the moment?
