Multi-tracked mastery

Award-winning composer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Ade Vincent draws on classical, pop, and electronic traditions, blending genres with intricate, detailed production.

His album A.WAKE, written and recorded over two years for release in 2027, was shaped by an upright piano passed from Vincent’s grandfather to his father, and then to him. Its tone and imperfections became central to the writing and recorded sound of the work. This live version features piano, recorders, electronics, and voice, moving from intimate piano miniatures to expansive cinematic passages, pulsing rhythms, and densely layered textures, integrating contemporary production with acoustic instruments, including the full recorder family from sopranino to bass.
