I taught myself to play the piano. I've always been able to play, the minute I could get my hands up. I've always wanted to play the piano. It's the only instrument I've ever really liked, and it's the only one that's ever interested me.

Biography

Born in Waco, Texas, in 1943, gay American composer Jerry Hunt, created works using live electronics partly controlled by his ritualistic performance techniques, as he was greatly influenced by the occult. He chose to commit suicide in response to what would have otherwise been fatal cancer in 1993.

His collaborators include Karen Finley and Paul Panhuysen.
