Ian Vine (born 3 January 1974 in Portsmouth, England) is a British composer. Vine grew up in Libya and Hong Kong.[1] He studied composition at the Royal Northern College of Music with Anthony Gilbert and privately with Simon Holt.[1][2]
There are traces Near and Far Eastern modalities as well as gestural and formal elements in his music.[1] SIRI (1997), for solo percussion with electronics, uses a rhythmic and structural language found in the highly ritualised percussion music of Japan and Korea.
writing on water (1999-), commissioned by Matthew Herbert and released on the Accidental label, is an expanding collection of short (sometimes only 20 seconds long) works using recorded acoustic instruments; and shadow grounds (1999), commissioned by the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival for the ensemble recherche as part of their In Nomine Broken Consort Book, a three-minute non-miniature of suspended sound.[1]
His three black moons (1999), commissioned by the London Sinfonietta,[1] was described by The Guardian, '...the most striking piece takes its title from an Alexander Calder mobile - its magical floating sonorities had a Feldmanesque beauty.'
The Guardian has written of him that "Vine's music, clearly influenced by Morton Feldman, is beautifully imagined and precisely focused".[1]
Vine is the artistic director of new music ensemble Radius.[2]
