Ben Frost Biography

Ben Frost (born 1980 in Melbourne Australia, now based in Reykjavik, Iceland) is a musician, composer and producer. Frost is probably most widely recognized for his experimental music drawing widely on influences of minimalism, post-punk, black metal and noise best demonstrated on the 2007 release "Theory of Machines" and 2009's "BY THE THROAT"

Frost's compositional catalogue includes Music for Sad Children (2001, independently produced and released), the ambient guitar exploration Steel Wound (2003, and reissued in 2007), [http://www.room40.org Room40]), described by Pitchfork Media as "an exemplary ambient experience",[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/17934-steel-wound] and the widely critically acclaimed LP 'Theory of Machines' on the Icelandic record label [http://www.bedroomcommunity.net Bedroom Community], an album which earned Frost massive critical acclaim and it could be said, cemented his place as an artist on the global stage.
"This is the album which is to cement his name as one of the most interesting and groundbreaking producers in the world today... Theory of Machines is the future of electronic music." [http://www.boomkat.com Boomkat]
"Simply awesome... Frost reminds us that minimalism was never just the polished sheen of Reich and Glass, but also the sweat and grime of Michael Gira's Swans... A deeper, darker minimalism- menacing and claustrophobic... This is Arvo Part as arranged by Trent Reznor... Magnificent" [http://www.thewire.co.uk The Wire Magazine]
"...The compositional complexity of Arvo Part and the sonic nothingness of Wolf Eyes...Yes, it is that good." [http://www.viceland.com Vice Magazine]
