Fred Frith is a true pioneer of experimental music. A founding member of the legendary British avant-rock group Henry Cow, Frith has spent decades redefining what the guitar can be—turning it into an orchestra of textures, rhythms, and unexpected sounds. Using objects, prepared strings, looping, and improvisation, he transforms the instrument into something entirely his own.
Across a career spanning more than fifty years, Frith has collaborated with an astonishing range of artists—from Brian Eno and John Zorn to Iva Bittová and Mike Patton—and has composed music for film, dance, and contemporary ensembles around the world. He has also spent years teaching and shaping the next generation of experimental musicians at Mills College.
