"this is arvo part as arranged by trent reznor" û thatÆs how british music
magazine wire aptly described the compositions of ben frost without, however,
managing to truly pin down the brute-subtle "classical-meets-popular" sounds
of the australian born in 1980. because the icelandic-based
multi-instrumentalist, who sees himself as influenced by phil collins and
approximates the sound of his own music as a "car crash", defies all common
forms of categorisation with his equally physical and cerebral tracks located
at breaking point: as at home in dark metal drones as in classic (post-)
minimalism, he performs with his live-acts, which are celebrated for their
almost spooky intensity, at berlinÆs queer temple of hedonism, berghain, with
the same nonchalance with which he composes scores for contemporary dance
theatre or performs in art galleries. on his most recent recording for the
reykjavik bedroom community label, "by the throat" (2009)", he embeds the
musique concrFte-like animal sounds of howling wolves and buzzing killer
whales in the constantly symphonic and cinematic overall structure. in krems
he will be supported by shazad ismaily and borgar magnason.
