Alexander Noice is a composer, guitarist, producer, and bandleader based in Los Angeles. Known for his highly personalized style of composition and guitar playing, best displayed by his ensembles NOICE and Falsetto Teeth, Alexander is a highly sought-after musician in the creative music scene in Los Angeles and abroad.
Noice has performed and toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan, and South America with many notable artists such as Charlie Haden, Wadada Leo Smith, Famoudou Don Moye, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tim Lefebvre, Vinny Golia, David Binney, Wild Up, Dorian Wood, and Daniel Rosenboom to name a few. He has performed his own compositions and collaborated with other artists on stages from all corners of the musical landscape including Walt Disney Concert Hall, Redcat, Blue Note Tokyo, Blue Note Nagoya, the Troubadour, Roulette, the Hammer Museum, along with many festivals such as MATA Festival, Sonar Tokyo, the Monterey Jazz Festival, Angel City Jazz Festival, Desert Daze Festival, and Green Umbrella at the LA Phil.
Noice first gained attention as a highly accomplished guitarist with an unmistakably strong command and unique voice on the instrument. It didn’t take long before he gained recognition for his work as a composer displayed in a myriad of configurations including chamber ensembles, jazz/improvised ensembles, music for animation, video installations, and film. From 2008-2012 he led the highly revered art rock/punk trio Falsetto Teeth, and in 2016 Alexander released his first solo electronic album called “Music Made With Voices” in which he uses a single note sung by eight different people as the sole source material to create eight elaborate, fragmented, and beautiful sonic portraits that reflect our modern relationships seen through a digitized prism.
In 2014 Alexander formed, NOICE a six-piece ensemble that seamlessly melds art rock, electronica, post-minimalism, and jazz into a singular, mesmerizing sound. The ensemble is celebrated for its electrifying live performances – “acrobatic in its execution and cinematic in scope.” Their 2019 debut album was met with critical acclaim by several media outlets nationally and internationally. NOICE ensemble has played numerous shows and festivals over the years and will be resuming live performances in 2023.
Alexander is currently working on an electro/acoustic album set to be released in early 2024.
