Ben Frost Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Born in Australia, composer Ben Frost, who lives in Reykjavik, is an artist who cannot be pigeonholed. He is an experimental creator of both electronic and live music, inspired by a variety of musical styles including minimal and post-minimal music, punk rock, black metal, as well as pop. His unwavering curiosity feeds the continual evolution of his sound spectrum. His oeuvre reflects a need to explore a wide variety of interdisciplinary genres: from film scores (Sleeping Beauty), scores for film series (Fortitude, Dark), the acclaimed opera The Wasp Factory based on the novel by Iain Banks, performances, concerts and installations. Important collaborators include music pioneer Brian Eno and the British choreographer Wayne McGregor. Frost’s work increasingly reflects a discourse on social and political issues, which has triggered the development of new formats connecting the visual arts and theatre with his sonic world. He has also worked with Richard Mosse on his installations Enclave and Incoming (credit: Matt Schulz, Unsound) http://www.ethermachines.com 2)Record Producer Ben Frost creates music that spans a huge range of genres from acoustic, live performances to industrial, neo-tech psychadelia.
