Brian Eno and Ben Frost
Brian Eno, who became famous in the 1970s as part of the glam-rock band, Roxy Music, has never stopped finding new ways to be creative, using all the media that today’s fast-developing technology can provide. He and Ben Frost, a young Australian musician living in Iceland, are the 2010-2011 mentor and protégé in music; but, as Frost puts it: “Brian is the sort of expansive, imaginative thinker who could be the mentor to any artist or scientist in any field.” Eno and Frost spent time in each other’s studios in London and Reykjavik, but their prolonged discussions went far beyond music. At the heart of their interaction was a shared determination to create the art of the future, before they even know what it is going to be.
