Ben Frost Unveils New Track “Turning The Prism”
Today Ben Frost has released his first studio music in six years via Mute. Renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to composition, production, direction, and sound art over the past 15 years, Frost adds this to a series of acclaimed releases on the label, dating back to 2014.
“Turning the Prism” marks a long-awaited shift from Ben’s recent collaborative ventures. In the past year, Frost co-created two projects fueled by profound ecological inspirations – the first, with acclaimed sound artist, composer, and musician Francesco Fabris, Vakning (2023, Room40), and the second with his long-time creative partners, photographer Richard Mosse and cinematographer Trevor Tweeten, resulting in the album and multidisciplinary art exhibition, Broken Spectre.
On the new track, “Turning the Prism,” Ben Frost masterfully intertwines his vivid sonic storytelling, commanding sound physicality, and subtle field recordings into a unified entity. The track encapsulates his distinctive signature, characterized by intricate interplays of tension, fragility, and life force. At the same time, “Prism” refracts and reprojects Frost’s latest multidisciplinary endeavors, showcasing his strong dynamic evolution in the realms of sound and artistry.
Ben Frost’s prolific portfolio boasts five studio albums, each a milestone in its own right, Frost’s artistic expression extends into installations, dynamic live performances, and emotive scores tailored for dance, theater, as well as collaborations with artists like Brian Eno, Tim Hecker, Swans, and composer Daníel Bjarnason.
