Fire lapping at the Creek

Brooklyn-based guitarist and composer Alec Goldfarb, together with Nadav Erlich, Francois Lana, and Lukas Mantel, presents a new suite of his own compositions.


Alec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer, and musician specializing in classical Hindustani music, known for blending jazz, contemporary music, and classical Indian traditions. As an award-winning composer recognized by DownBeat Magazine, his music is described as “full of ingenious juxtapositions” (The Wire); it unravels hidden points of contact between different musical cultures and reveals the complex interconnections of traditions over time.
As a representative of the Senia-Maihar Gharana, he performs classical Hindustani music worldwide, employing a unique guitar technique inspired by the sarod and the sitar.
Alec has premiered works by renowned composers and has performed at major venues, including Roulette Intermedium, the NESCO Center, Skanu Mezs, the India Habitat Centre, The Jazz Gallery, the Bangalore International Center, and the Asia Society NYC.
He has performed alongside Anthony Braxton and the Creative Music Orchestra in Darmstadt, the JACK Quartet, John Wetton (King Crimson), Steve Lehman, Patrick Bartley Jr., Immanuel Wilkins, and Eric Wubbels.
His most recent projects include his acclaimed album *Fire Lapping at the Creek*, the alternative-historical Baroque suite *The Tree of Heaven*, works for gamelan and mixed ensembles, and tours throughout Asia, North Africa, Europe, and the U.S.
