Ben Frost is a composer and producer known for his experimental and minimalist approach to music, often blurring the lines between electronic genres and classical composition. Born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1980, Frost relocated to Reykjavik, Iceland, a move that significantly influenced his sonic palette. His work is characterized by its emphasis on intensely dynamic shifts, mixing heavily processed guitars, synths, and other electronic elements with classical orchestration to create immersive soundscapes.

Frost's discography includes a diverse range of projects, from studio albums like "A U R O R A" and "The Centre Cannot Hold," to eclectic remixes such as "Land Animal (Ben Frost Remix)" and "Uni Normal (Ben Frost Remix)." His prowess in musical storytelling has led him to become a sought-after composer for film, television, and dance, evident in soundtracks for the ambitious TV series like "Fortitude" and "Raised by Wolves." Moreover, his collaboration with contemporary dance in "iTMOi (In the Mind of Igor)" showcases the breadth of his versatility. Recognized for his capacity to create compelling auditory experiences, Ben Frost stands as an influential figure in modern experimental music, continually pushing the boundaries of how sound interacts with emotion and environment.
