Alandra Markman

Alandra Markman is an avant-bard on voice, saxophone, guitar, piano, and typewriter, equal parts literary and musical. Educated in the Western classical guitar tradition at the Mannes School, he went on to study rock, jazz, and improvisation with fringe luminaries like Art Lande and Ornette Coleman. He blends the accessible with the bizarre in poetry and music, running the gamut from pop songs and sonnets to word soup and aggressive noise.
