About Alan Licht

Hometown

New Jersey, United States

Born

June 6, 1968

Genre

Alternative

The experimental music guitarist Alan Licht was equally inspired by mainstream pop (Paul McCartney’s Wings), then by the rock underground of his youth (Sonic Youth), and later by the minimalist composers of the '70s (Steve Reich). Licht brings a little of each to his assorted musical ventures. In the trio Love Child, his approach was imbued with melodic, almost power-pop hooks charged with bracing distortion, while in live solo performance, Licht can build upon and layer cyclical riffs in mesmerizing fashion. He is also a music journalist and has authored two books: An Emotional Memoir of Martha Quinn and Sound Art: Beyond Music

Alan Licht has also released music as a member of Weasel Walter Large Ensemble, Love Child, Text of Light, Run On, Threshing Floor, and Mandarin Movie.
