Ben Frost, born in Melbourne, Australia in 1980, is a trailblazing composer and producer now living in Reykjavik, Iceland. A key figure in the Icelandic music collective and record label Bedroom Community, Frost has carved out a unique space in the music world where classical minimalism meets the raw intensity of punk rock and metal. His music is known for its deep, immersive soundscapes that build from minimal beginnings into complex, overwhelming auditory experiences that challenge traditional structures. This approach has been described as transformative, pushing the boundaries of how music interacts with and impacts the listener. Frost's albums such as Steel Wound, Theory of Machines, and BY THE THROAT have received critical acclaim for not just their artistic depth but also for their ability to engage listeners on a visceral level. These works have earned him a reputation for creating music that you feel as much as hear, characterized by dramatic contrasts and a commanding presence that fills any space it’s played in. Ben is not just a studio artist; he’s also dynamic live, known for intense shows that merge throbbing electronics with the ferocity of live guitars. These performances have made him a favorite at major international festivals like MUTEK in Montreal. Beyond music, his innovative sound has influenced various fields including dance, where his collaborations have enhanced performances by leading dance companies and choreographers worldwide.
