Vincent Yuen Ruiz (b 1990) is known for being a double bass player who evolves primarily in the field of free improvisation and jazz., while being active in various musical settings ranging from classical contemporary music to electronic music. He is the former double bass player of the minimalist/experimental trio Plaistow and has been a member of the Insub Meta Orchestra since 2017. Now living between Copenhagen and Geneva, his latest work has been a study in patience, a focus on repetition and the interaction between timbres and resonances. A certain idea of stillness often leads his sonic explorations, as well as giving a narrow framework to his improvisational style. With a minimalism bordering on reductionism, Yuen Ruiz mixes tonal melodies and textural approaches. He works both as a solo artist and with various ensembles.
