Press Kit | Cartesia - Vincent Salgueiro
Biography
Vincent Salgueiro is a producer and composer of instrumental hybrid electronic music based in London, UK.
The majority of his work is soundtrack based for mixed media projects like short film, animation and games but he is making a debut release with EP ‘Cartesia’ with the intent of consistently releasing original music and collaborations in the future parallel to his commissioned work.
With eclectic influence from ambient electronic, post-rock, neo-classical, IDM and sound art, Vincent’s music is usually relatively experimental and textural with a focus on atmosphere, story and the physicality of sound. A common theme is contrast between bespoke organic and artificial sources of sound.

vincent salgueiro releases debut EP ‘Cartesia’ 10th December 2021
‘Cartesia’ is Vincent Salgueiro’s debut EP release out on all streaming platforms on the 10th December 2021. It’s a solo produced instrumental project consisting of a hybrid of acoustic and electronic material with a soundtrack feel. The release of Cartesia follows Vincent’s work on several short film and video game soundtracks and marks his first venture into solo work. ‘Cartesia’ juxtaposes organic and artificial sound in a sonic exploration of Cartesian Dualism as it relates to mortality and the digital age. Contrasting sources of sound gathered through studio engineering, field recording and analogue synthesis are performed and woven together to create the dense atmospheric soundscapes. Despite heavy focus on improvised performance, Cartesia’s production took place over the course of a year due to its conceptual, bespoke, explorative nature.
