The first Friday of each month on solipsistic NATION<\/b> I feature a live set from an artists and today\u2019s show is a recording of Ben Frost\u2019s performance at St Katherine\u2019s, a 16th century Gothic church in Krakow for Unsound<\/a> in 2008.<\/p>\n

Ben Frost is a musician, composer and producer who draws upon minimalism, post-punk, black metal and noise in his music. Ben\u2019s album, Theory of Machines<\/a><\/i>, gained him critical acclaim and his most recent album, By the Throat<\/a><\/i>, cemented his place as an artist on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Ben joins us today from the Bedroom Community<\/a> studios in Iceland.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to thank Mat and Radek from Unsound for sharing Ben concert on this week\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Ben\u2019s concert came in under an hour so I asked HC<\/a> from the Headphone Commute<\/a> blog to put together a mix of Ben\u2019s studio tracks to round out today\u2019s show. HC is the man who turned me on to Ben so this is kind of my way for thanking him.<\/p>\n

Join us again next week when we\u2019ll talk with Sam and Fred of Planet Terror Records<\/a>!<\/p>\n
