VENT ⓥ Valentina Magaletti & YPY (in the round) Ben Vince

Valentina Magaletti & YPY (the solo moniker of Japanese musician Koshiro Hino) form an acclaimed experimental, electroacoustic duo. Their collaborative project blends Magaletti's highly percussive, avant-garde drumming with YPY's metallic, handcrafted electronics and polyrhythmic structures, highlighted by their acclaimed LP Kansai Bruises

Ben Vince is a striking composer and performer, known for his live improvised saxophone explorations and inventive techniques in creating new rhythms, textures and moods. Through live improvisation, sonic manipulation, reprocessing and looping, whether in the studio or on the stage, his spontaneous yet intuitive approach and collaborative nature surpasses the seeming limitations of his primary instrument.
