"Born in Waco, TX, Jerry Hunt was a friend of Jack Ruby, a pianist in strip clubs, a student of the occult and founder of his own mail order church at the age of 13. Jerry Hunt was also one of the great pioneers of live electronic music performance. Very much a modern-day shaman, he designed most of his own equipment and used it in unique ways to create backdrops for his magical performnaces that referred to, among many other things, exotic ritual, the esoteric traditions of Rosicrucianism, Aleister Crowley and modern science. The Song Drapes were some of Jerry's last and greatest creations -- and this special first release, authorized by the Hunt estate, includes performances by two of Jerry's closest friends and collaborators, vocalist Shelley Hirsch and performance artist Karen Finley, and one track featuring the popular vocalist Mike Patton."

"Composer and modern day shaman Jerry Hunt combined live electronics with esoteric spirituality in creating his own very unique ritualistic performances. This CD presents four rare compositions written expressly for James Fulkerson and the Barton Workshop, who had a long and intimate relationship with this elusive composer until his untimely death in 1993. Includes an extended piece for trombone and electronics, two colorful compositions for ensemble and a charming minimalist piece for violin and piano. Hunt's hypnotic sound world transfers brilliantly to this virtuosic ensemble, and they perform his challenging scores with passion and intensity. A wild new view from one of new music's legendary mavericks."
