Scope Neglect
Ben Frost
Running time 50’
Iconic figure of contemporary experimental music, the eclectic Australian composer presents at this year’s FOG festival Scope Neglect, a show inspirated by the album by the same name, produced in 2023 with Greg Kubacki (guitarist for the mathcore band Car Bomb) and realized in collaboration with the Dutch audio-visual artist Tarik Barri. His glacial electric music combines minimalist tendencies, deafening drones, post-industrial psychotic moods and desolate environments.
