Stephen Lucas

Stephen Lucas is a musician, intermedia artist and programmer based in Denton, Texas.

He holds a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and a doctorate in music composition from UNT. His multimedia works set starkly cartoonish imagery against abstraction, drawing on humor and social absurdism.

His solo project, Stephen Lucas Live at Brussels, showcases his lead synth playing alongside cinematic electronic textures. He also assists his partner, Sarah Ruth Alexander, with organizing the Joan of Bark Concert Series and Festival, which features experimental, contemporary, free and adventurous music by local and touring artists.
