Ben Frost + Lawrence English
This Australian-born, Iceland-based artist makes music to be felt, not just heard.
Overview
Combine classical minimalism with metal and punk and you have for yourself the hand-coined genre unique to Ben Frost. This Australian-born, Iceland-based musician is heading to the Brisbane Powerhouse this Wednesday to deliver his latest instalment of powerful work.
Frost's most recent album Aurora succeeds a string of five albums all praised for being musically gutsy, almost to the point of physically assaultive. BBC's David Stubbs says Frost's sound "reaches right out of the thought bubble and punches you out of your skin." This isn't your male take on Enja — Frost draws on the mysterious energies of Icelandic music, to produce a rather roof-shaking sound.
Frost is joined by fellow sonic artist Lawrence English for a special Room40 event at the Powerhouse. Expect to be entranced by a sonic blending of brute force and percussive intensity. This music is meant to be felt, not just heard.
