Led to Sea is the solo project of violist/violinist/composer L. Alex Guy. She is sometimes joined by incredible percussionist Paul Kikuch.
Alex also tours throughout the U.S. and Europe with musicians such as Laura Veirs, Mirah and Jason Webley. She was also a member of the Degenerate Art Ensemble (of Seattle), an experimental-punk-grove orchestra/theater extravaganza for over five years. You can also hear her viola and violin stylings on the records of numerous indie and experimental bands including Xiu Xiu, the Dead Science, The Pharmacy and Parenthetical Girls.
Alex has also composed for theater and dance performances. Previous works include: a solo score (for violin) for Ibsen's 'Enemy of the people,' a score for viola, violin and bass drum to accompany modern dance piece 'Entry by Entrance; music for Wise Fool NM's Circus Luminous; musical scores for the SCCC production of the Laramie Project, and Strawberry Theater Workshop's productions of This Land: Woodie Guthrie.
