• Alan Licht
Over the past two decades, guitarist Alan Licht has worked with a veritable who's who of the experimental world, from free jazz legends (Rashied Ali, Derek Bailey) and electronic wizards (Fennesz, Jim O'Rourke) to turntable masters (DJ Spooky, Christian Marclay) and veteran Downtown New York composers (John Zorn, Rhys Chatham, Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth). Licht is also a curator and writer, including for The Wire Magazine and New York Sun. His book Sound Art: Beyond Music, Between Media is a standard work on sound art and was the inspiration for STUK's long-running “Beyond Music” series. In 2024, Licht released his latest album Havens, a double LP of elongated guitar improvisations in which classical fingerpicking and abstract soundscapes alternate. A hypnotic trip that he will perform live in STUK.
