Bio: Lee Ranaldo, co-founder of avant-garde rock group Sonic Youth, was born in 1956 in East Norwich, NY.
Ranaldo attended SUNY Binghamton in Binghamton, NY, where he played in an experimental punk outfit called the Fluks (named after the dadaist art movement, Fluxus).
Ranaldo's role in the ever-experimental Sonic Youth has been an important one, acting as a textural axis for Gordon and Moore.

  Lee Ranaldo: Amarillo Ramp ---Ink Blot Magazine
Lee Ranaldo is a member of Sonic Youth.
When it comes to side projects, Lee Ranaldo is not the most prolific member of Sonic Youth, but his extracurricular activities are certainly no less stimulating than those of Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, or Steve Shelley.
Ranaldo's minimalist-inspired method is deceptively simple; he plays brief guitar phrases and loops them with a digital delay, then plays contrasting lines against each loop.

 Drift (Lee Ranaldo and Leah Singer) :: Plexi Shop
DRIFT is a collaboration started in 1991 between visual artist Leah Singer and musician and poet Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth.
DRIFT is an immersive sonic/visual environment consisting of music, sounds and texts by Ranaldo in response to two 16mm analytical film projectors performed in real time by Singer.
Much as a DJ scratches a vinyl record, Singer manipulates her films in a live improvisation with Ranaldo's guitar, poetry and soundscapes.

 Lee Ranaldo
Their success and importance stems from a pure energy and drive that has enabled them to tour religiously and release one experiment in controlled chaos after another.
Since 1981, Lee Ranaldo has spent his down time from his band putting out puzzling and ambiguous spoken word records that seem to cut straight to the experimental core of Sonic Youth.
And, as always, Ranaldo's prolific torrent of words is set to an equally prolific torrent of glorious guitar noise.

 William Hooker Discography
William Hooker, known for his kinetic improvisational drumming style coupled with Lee Ranaldo's experimental guitar history with Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth, together make a captivating, non-classifiable recording.
This is three improvisers in their continuing mission to explore new noise, seek out new ways to make feedback, and go where no musicians have gone before.
Lee Ranaldo is the guitarist of Sonic Youth.

Had an opportunity to interview Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth this past week, in advance of his appearance in St. Louis with his side-project Text of Light at Webster University.
The opportunity to interview Lee Ranaldo was too appealing to even think of passing up.
Ranaldo: When you play four or five shows in a row, there’s a certain kind of rhythm with the way we work.

 Lee Ranaldo : Dirty Windows - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Although Lee Ranaldo is an underrated singer and songwriter -- songs like "Mote" and "Eric's Trip" are among Sonic Youth's best work -- his solo records have never really explored this side of his musical personality.
Ranaldo's poetry is no worse than that of any middle-aged artist heavily influenced by the beat generation writers, but, unfortunately, it's not much better either.
Ranaldo flits between scenes of lower Manhattan and that other rock & roll favorite, life on the tour bus, but while his images are often striking, they don't often add up to much.

 The Austin Chronicle: Music: Reconnection Notice: Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo speaks   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Ranaldo keeps alive his streak of one truly excellent song per album with "Karen Revisited," which starts out every bit as peppy and memorable as Washing Machine's "Skip Tracer" before drifting into a long, abstract passage that takes a page from 1999's Goodbye 20th Century modern composer cover album.
Lee Ranaldo: We were working on the album there in the studio in July and August.
I picture it as being these two different interpretations of a subject where the first part has the words and everything is about this person, and the second part is more of a tone-poem approach to the same idea.

Grazie di cuore al grande Lee Ranaldo, songwriter, chitarrista e voce dei Sonic Youth per questa intervista che ha gentilmente concesso in esclusiva a Maggie's Farm ed in cui abbiamo naturalmente parlato molto di Bob Dylan.

 William Hooker/Roger Miller/Lee Ranaldo - Monsoon - Jazz Review
Atavistic inaugurates its Out Trios series with a live recording by guitarist Lee Ranaldo, bassist Roger Miller, and drummer William Hooker that explores the many facets of texture, rhythm and timbre.
The only thing that gives it any rooting in convention is Hooker, who creates pulsating rhythms over which Ranaldo and Miller blend sounds that range from the quietly ambient to the industrial.
Ranaldo, better known for his work with Sonic Youth, takes his dissonant playing one step further, creating sounds that are rarely identifiable as guitar.

 Lee Ranaldo: Amarillo Ramp: Pitchfork Record Review
It was perhaps unnecessary to tack on a ho-hum cover of John Lennon's "Isolation" at the end.
Ranaldo cops Lennon's '70s guitar and vocal stylings with remarkable accuracy, but given the excellent work that precedes it, you would expect more.
Still, as Sonic Youth is poised to release their new full- length, fans would do well to check out Ranaldo's more obscure side.
