Hailed as “one of the brightest new music ensembles on the scene today” by Gramophone magazine, Bent Frequency (BF) has established itself as the Southeast’s premiere new music ensemble. Founded in 2003, the group brings the avant-garde music tradition to life in Atlanta and abroad through adventurous programming, the promotion of New Music, and a creative synthesis of music and media. 

BF presents everything from large-scale chamber concerts to smaller, more intimate performances. We have collaborated with some of the most ground-breaking composers working today (including Lei Liang, Tristan Murail, Jennifer Walshe, and Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon), and have produced large-scale events such as Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon’s chamber opera Comala at the International Cervantino Festival and Fiestas de Octubre in Mexico, an appearance as ensemble-in-residence at the Tage Aktueller Musik in Nürnberg, and a 3-day festival celebrating the music of Steve Reich on the occasion of his 70th birthday.  

BF has been awarded numerous prestigious and competitive governmental and foundational grants to fund the creation and promotion of New Music. Recent awards include the French American Cultural Exchange, Barlow Foundation, Georgia Council for the Arts, Copland Foundation, Fulton County Arts Council, Mid Atlanta Arts Foundation (National Endowment for the Arts and the Andrew Mellon Foundation), and Culture Ireland to name a few.

Robert Scott Thompson is an electroacoustic composer who has labored in relative obscurity for years--releasing a large number of works in a surprising number of genres. Two Thompson releases, "The Silent Shore" and "Frontier", gave his music wider distribution and opened his talent up to a larger group of ambient aficionados. The two discs were fabulously diverse displays of ambience, dark and light. To my mind, "The Silent Shore" is one of the finest ambient releases of the 1990s, and "Frontier" was a more than worthy follow-up. 

Thompson's music is extremely cerebral and academic, fitting into genre definitions quite tenuously. The totality of his work may not be to a particular listener’s tastes every time, but one can always be sure Thompson is treading new territories, experimenting with sound, continuously moving forward.

What is here: 

Some tracks are from published albums but much of what you will hear is unpublished or early versions of published recordings.  More and more, this space is being used to post tracks that are studio out-takes.  This music is not always found elsewhere.

Tracks are being added continuously.  Most are downloadable and I suggest downloading as the tracks may not be continuously available and are generally unpublished versions of things.
