Jerry Hunt

Jerry Hunt (November 30, 1943 in Waco, Texas - November 27, 1993 in Canton, Texas) was an American composer who created works using live electronics partly controlled by his ritualistic performance techniques, influenced by his interest in the occult. He committed suicide in response to terminal cancer. His collaborators included Karen Finley, Paul Panhuysen, and Philip Krumm. Hunt was also the founder of IRIDA Records, which released recordings with works by Larry Austin, James Fulkerson, Dary John Mizelle, Rodney Waschka II, and others, as well as recordings of his own music. Hunt was openly gay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Hunt http://www.jerryhunt.org http://www.jerryhunt.org/recworks.htm http://www4.ncsu.edu/~waschka/hunt.html Read more on Last.fm.
