Lee Ranaldo – is an iconic figure in the American independent music scene — a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and a key leader of countercultural music movements of the past 50 years, spanning alternative rock, experimental avant-garde, no wave, and noise. As a co-founder of Sonic Youth, a band that reshaped the course of music history, his influence is both vast and enduring.

   
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him #33 on its list of ‘The Greatest Guitarists of All Time,’ and in 2012, Spin magazine placed him — alongside Sonic Youth bandmate Thurston Moore — at #1 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists. n 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him #33 on its list of ‘The Greatest Guitarists of All Time,’ and in 2012, Spin magazine placed him — alongside Sonic Youth bandmate Thurston Moore — at #1 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists.       
Lee Ranaldo is a person of many talents, and each of his concerts, whether solo or in a collaboration, is always a profound experience. Beyond his masterful guitar technique, the artist is also fascinated by the world of contemporary art, the use of multimedia, and field recording.   The Lublin concert will be no different: he will be joined by multimedia artist and photographer Leah Singer to present “Contre Jour,” a sound and visual tribute to Lourdes Castro, the Portuguese master of contemporary arts.
