Artists
Text of Light featuring Lee Ranaldo, Alan Licht, and Uli Krieger
“Text of Light explode with a formidable combination of free jazz skronk, seismic percussion, tonal drone and searing guitar noise,” said The WIRE magazine in 2008. The group was formed in 1999 with the idea to perform improvised music to the films of Stan Brakhage and other members of the American Cinema avant-garde of the 1950s-60s, an under-known period of American filmic poetics (Brakhage’s film 'The Text of Light' was used at the premiere performances and was the namesake of the group).
The core members of the group are Lee Ranaldo and Alan Licht (guitars/devices) and Ulrich Krieger (sax/electronics). They are often joined by a rotating core of additional members (including Christian Marclay, DJ Olilve, William Hooker and others), depending on individual schedules, so the group takes on various permutations---sometimes all members participate, sometimes not.
The group has headlined the Victoriaville Music Festival, Canada (2002); Three Rivers Film Festival, Pittsburgh; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; The Whitney Museum, NYC, and have done several tours of Europe as well as performing in New York City and other USA club and cinema venues.
