Frost’s North American tour continues this week and he returns to England in November for the first tour since the release of his album, A U R O R A. Beginning on 10 November in Brighton, the tour includes a headline London show at St Johns in Hackney with support from legendary avant-garde minimalist composer Tony Conrad on 13 November.
A U R O R A, performed by Ben Frost with guests Greg Fox, Shahzad Ismaily and Thor Harris, was largely written in Eastern DR Congo where Frost was working with Richard Mosse and Trevor Tweeten on the Deutsche Börse prize winning installation, The Enclave. Following on from their Congolese collaboration, Frost, Mosse and Tweeten were recently invited by Time magazine to travel to a US aircraft carrier to document flight tests for the new unmanned X-47B drone. The film can be seen now.
