Henry Prince is a Franco-English composer and improviser from Nice and based in London. He composes for solo and guitar ensembles as well as brass and wind players, occasionally using sound manipulation, effects pedals and playing with pure versus impure harmony. Henry has been playing on the London experimental improv circuit since 2022 and in 2023 began self-releasing recordings of lofi drone and noise improvisations using fretless bass. In September 2024 he released "His body is sturdy and the skin, puckered by the cold, hugs ligneous muscles" on London label Lost Wisdom and launched the cassette at Cafe Oto. In April 2025, Henry released his LP "Masses of swirling thought disappear and mind or thought begins to focus." composed for saxophone and trombone quartet and electric guitar quartet, performed with musicians from Guildhall School of Music and recorded at Big Limbo Studios with Zeyn Mroueh. He is currently working on his next piece for large ensemble of steel-string acoustic guitars and ebows set to premiere in May 2025.
