SUREALIS* Anla Courtis & Noise Ladder

ANLA COURTIS

(aka Alan Courtis) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1972. He was a founder member of Reynols who spawned over 100 releases. Alan has been working in the field of sound-art, electro-acoustic music, drone, noise, improvisation and composition. He also did more than 100 solo releases on various labels world wide. His written music has been played by ensembles from England, Thailand, Switzerland, Wales, Netherlands, Mexico, Canada, United States, Spain and South America.

Anla Courtis music always has strong experimental sense and is based on high-skilled techniques of prepared sound, tape manipulations, processing of field recordings, live electronics, objects, cymbals, synthesizers, computer tools, playing traditional (both acoustic and electric) instruments as well as self-built, strange and unusual instruments (eg. unstringed guitar).

NOISE LADDER

If you had to define Noise Ladder (aka Nicolas Lafay) in one word, it would definitely be „maker.“ For Nicolas, everything revolves around making, building, creating, and ultimately, transmitting. He discovered electronic and noise music at an early age. After experimenting with conventional electronic music gear, he began building his own setup using modular synthesizers, effects pedals, and modified objects. He now enriches his sonic universe by creating animated drawings, presenting audiovisual performances. Additionally, he works as a library and media educator at an international school.
