Alan Courtis, öðru nafni Anla Courtis, fæddist í Buenos Aires árið 1972. Hann hefur meðal annars unnið á sviði hljóðlistar, drón-, hávaða- og spunatónlistar og tónsmíða.

His music always has strong experimental sense and usually based on high-skilled techniques of prepared sound, tape manipulations, processing of field recordings, live electronics, objects, cymbals, synthesizers, computer tools, playing traditional (both acoustic and electric) instruments as well as self-built, strange and unusual instruments (eg. unstringed guitar).
