#3270: Ben Frost's "Solaris"
For this New Sounds, we'll take a listen to the symphonic suite by Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason, "Solaris." The international Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative's music protégé for 2010-2011, Frost, (mentored by none other than Brian Eno) joins us in the studio to present the reimagined soundtrack for the 1972 Andrei Tarkovsky film.
Combining the warmth of a string orchestra with prepared piano and waves of guitar, for "Solaris", the composers took Melodyne, (music software designed to improve music and pitch), and "turned it against itself and encouraged it to misbehave." We'll hear what that sounds like, and much more.
