Biografía
Fred Frith, born in England in 1949, is perhaps the world’s best know guitar improviser. He is also a multi-instrumentalist and composer.
Frith first came to attention as one of the founding members of the English avant-garde rock group Henry Cow. He was also a member of Art Bears, Massacre and Skeleton Crew, and has collaborated with a number of prominent musicians, including: Robert Wyatt, Brian Eno, Lars Hollmer, The Residents, Lol Coxhill, John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Derek Bailey, Iva Bittová and Bob Ostertag. He has also composed several long works, including Traffic Continues and Freedom in Fragments.
His career spans over three decades and he appears on over 400 albums. He still performs actively throughout the world. He lives in the United States with his wife, German photographer Heike Liss, and their children, Finn and Lucia. Frith is the brother of Simon Frith, a well-known music critic and sociologist, and Chris Frith, the eminent neuro-psychologist, who also appears in Act of God.
