• Elisabeth Klinck

Elisabeth Klinck is a violinist, composer and performer based in Brussels. Drawing on her background in classical music, she bridges the gap between classical music and the world of experimental electroacoustic music. Her debut album Picture a Frame was released in 2013 on the Swiss label Hallow Ground (also known for Maria W. Horn and FujiIIIIIIIIIIta). This summer saw the release of her second album, Chronotopia. On this album, Klinck engages in a deeper dialogue with herself. She chooses for a more song-oriented approach and embraces her own voice as an essential counterweight to her violin. Here one can discover a fragile emotional soundscape with soft sustained tones, hypnotic patterns, field recordings and improvisation.

• Alan Licht
presents Havens

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.
