A performer and composer of acoustic and electronic music, Simon Vincent has been challenging the boundaries of genre and musical expression with a highly personal language since the early 1990s. His work has variously been described as ‘visionary and expressive’, ‘mesmerising’ and ‘Debussy-like’, attracting praise from critics as varied as Ben Watson, Julian Cowley, Massimo Ricci and Gilles Peterson in publications including The Wire, International Piano, De:Bug, Knowledge Magazine, Dragon Jazz, Extranormal and Kudos. He has also had airtime on Resonance FM, BBC Radio 3, Ministry of Sound Radio and FM4-Austria and many other stations. Releasing work on Erstwhile Records, EMANEM, L’innomable, as well as own label Vision of Sound, his live performances have included Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival; Glastonbury Festival; ICA London; Tallinn Music Week; TechFestival Copenhagen; Club Transmediale [Berlin] and Visiones Sonoras [Mexico City]. Vincent was awarded Arts Council England support for the 2017 ‘Stations of the Cross’ solo piano your and nominated in 2014 for a Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists.

He recently completed three new commissions for London-based RPO principal trombonist Matthew Gee and a substantial new work for piano and electronics.
