There are two artists who go by the name, “Ben Frost”:
1) Ben Frost (born 1980 in Melbourne, Australia, now based in Reykjavík, Iceland) is a musician, composer and producer, whose early work included the independently released ambient electronic EP Music for Sad Children (2000) and for his band School of Emotional Engineering. However 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.
Frost’s compositional catalog includes Music for Sad Children (2001, independently produced and released), the ambient guitar exploration Steel Wound (2003, and reissued in 2007, Room40), described by Pitchfork Media as “an exemplary ambient experience”, and the widely critically acclaimed LP Theory Of Machines on the Icelandic record label Bedroom Community, an album which earned Frost huge critical acclaim and it could be said, cemented his place as an artist on the global stage.
Ben Frost has performed and collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Amiina, Ghostdigital - a project of ex-The Sugarcubes’ Einar Örn Benediktsson, American composer Nico Muhly and Björk. He is the closest collaborator of Icelandic producer/engineer/composer Valgeir Sigurðsson in Greenhouse Studios Reykjavik Iceland, often contributing programming work to Sigurðsson’s productions. It is within Greenhouse that the majority of Frost’s work is produced, often in collaboration of Sigurðsson.

By the Throat was my favorite album in 2009. First time I hear such fierce atmospheric music. Intense, intense.. not some background music. This album requires your utter attention.

The show at Primavera was incredible. The fact that the sound guys couldnt cope with the sonic assualt and how the cutting out seemd to effect Ben Frost actually made the whole thing more intense. I honestly felt sick during some moments. Really filled my expectations.
