Tolbooth Auditorium, 8.30pm Carving out an aural sculpture between the two improvisational colossus of tonight’s programme Ben Frost’s epic minimal soundscape is as much about what might happen than it is about the sheer impact of noise. Composer and producer Ben Frost’s 2009 CD By The Throat reverberates with an awkward primal force. In interview he confesses “I am a collector: images, objects, texts, ideas - my apartment is strewn with reams of images of fire, and lava, and wolves and whales and fur and teeth” and they are all in his music. Originally from Melbourne but now resident in Iceland it is easy to hear from the music that he must feel at home in the land of glaciers, geysers, and uncontrollable nature. Arvo P?rt, Ligeti, Sun O))), Swans and Burial are just some of the music he admires. Menacing. Ben Frost - electronics, guitar & piano |
