BEN FROST TO PERFORM WITH PAN AMERICAN AND COLLEEN AT UNSOUND ON 24.10.2008!

Ben Frost will join Pan American and Colleen to perform in Krakow for UNSOUND, making 24.11.2008 a world class night of ambient / electronic / experimental music.

Born in Australia but now a resident of Iceland, Frost has worked with the likes of Bjork, among many others. His last album “Language of Machines” was released by the Icelandic label Bedroom community. It has received glowing reviews all around the world. For example:

“Theory of Machines is the future of electronic music.”
-Boomkat.com

Simply awesome... This is Arvo Pärt as arranged by Trent Reznor... Magnificent”
-Wire Magazine, UK

"...The compositional complexity of Arvo Pärt and the sonic nothingness of Wolf Eyes...Yes, it is that good"
-Vice Magazine, USA

"Sonic Youth softened guitar rock audiences, Lightning Bolt did the same for many punks, and Fennesz has shown the possibility for melody among noisenik laptoppers... if this is a list of noise artists that could permanently change how music listeners view the genre it may be time to add Ben Frost to it."
-Stylus Magazine, USA

RESIDENT ADVISOR PUTS KRAKOW'S UNSOUND IN TOP 10 OCTOBER FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD

Influential dance and electronic music magazine Resident Advisor has placed Krakow's Unsound festival in position number four in a ranking of the world's top ten October festivals.

Between Amsterdam Dance Event (one of the world's biggest dance festivals) and Icelandic Airwaves, Resident Advisor writes:

"Set up camp in Poland for a week, because the Unsound Festival isn't one for forcing clubgoers to make choices: Instead, the festival chooses a human-size festival that allows the intrepid to see just about everything it has to offer. Everything means a taste of the experimental too: Noted electronic artists like nsi. and Jan Jelinek will be helping to soundtrack Andy Warhol's transfixing slow-motion documentaries Empire and Kiss, but there'll also be plenty of time to get down with dOP, Noze, Pinch, Thomas Melchior and Bruno Pronsato get into town. There won't be any philosophical underpinnings to their sets: Just straight-up banging dance music."
