Vincent Giles : Associate Artist

"Dozens of silvery, threadlike lines supporting one another; energies across spectra and forms all interlinked and state-changing in what seems to be a chaotic, yet utterly controlled, order." – N. K. Jemisin

Random Audio Sample: Fragments : for flute ensemble by Vincent Giles, from the CD Fantasie Australis
