Biography
Melbourne, Australia
School of Emotional Engineering is a loosely defined ‘band’, more of a ‘project’ created by composer Ben Frost. Primarily Frost, alongside multi-instrumentalist and engineer Daniel Rejmer, bassist and guitarist Andy Hazel, violin player Russell Fawkus and drummer Jova Albers, School of Emotional Engineering (S.E.E) began originally in Melbourne, Australia as a live extension of Frost’s solo work.
S.E.E have performed live rarely, with as many as eight people on stage recreating the impenetrable wall of emotive sound found on the self-titled 2003 debut. All members of S.E.E have various side projects and either collectively or individually work in production roles (remixing, programming, etc.) for other artists including Björk.
The Music:
Reviews often describe School of Emotional Engineering as ambient or atmospheric, trip-hop, industrial and post-rock. Their debut album is often compared to the work of artists such as Icelandic band Sigur Rós or Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor. There is mostly a foreboding and visceral undercurrent that threatens to devour the subtle textures and somnolent ambience in the music of S.E.E, which intermittently erupts in the form of tensely cut-up beats, abrasive snares and blasts of static interference. The cinematic identity of S.E.E is forged with sonorous nuances, droning basslines and live drums.

I'm in love with this album. For those who miss this sound I strongly recommend Aidan Baker works.

What a shitty band name, at first I've thought that this is another emo-project, turned out not to be that bad.

Having spent hours in Box Hill myself, I think I see why Ben moved. Completely. Not just from the suburb, but the whole country. (I do love Melbourne AND Australia though. I guess he just wanted to go somewhere more grim and shimmering.)
