Fact Live: Ben Vince

Ben Vince is an experimental saxophonist based in London, whose music has appeared on labels including Where To Now?, ThirtyThree ThirtyThree Records and Depth of Decay. For the latest in our series of live sessions filmed at 180 The Strand, we invited experimental saxophonist Ben Vince to perform a set alongside visual artist Catherine Chapman. In the 40-minute performance, Vince takes a largely improvisational approach, with a set full of drones and delicate tones created by his saxophone, laptop and MIDI controller. Vince has previously contributed to a compilation on Curl, the label from Mica Levi, Brother May and Coby Sey, and his music has also leaned towards the dancefloor. In 2018 he released a two-track EP on Hessle Audio in collaboration with Joy O, in which Vince’s saxophone textures augment the rhythmic structure of club music.
