Also: I'm very attracted to compatible couples (like free will and determinism) and have long been not-so-secretly attached to two wildly alluring singles: The Single Tax and The Single, Non-Transferable Ballot.

More like purgatory than heaven or hell. I used to sound distinctly like limbo until it turned out there was no such thing as limbo. That was a tough day for me.
Walter Horn has been writing music since he was 13--over 40 years ago. He studied classical composition with Ronald Perrara and Karel Husa, before moving into the worlds of free jazz and improv. He has collaborated with Beefheart guitarist (and childhood buddy) Gary Lucas on a number of projects, including scoring the silent film 'Der Golem,' which they have performed in New York, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Munich, Germany. Horn recently performed this highly acclaimed score in the Boston area with guitarist Jonathan Fixler. Others he has played with include violinists Mat Maneri and Katt Hernandez, saxophonist Eric Hipp, drummer Johnny McLellan, guitarist Jason Bivins, and trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez. His work as a sideman can be found on the Tzadik and Enemy labels.
Walto has released two CDs himself, "Screwdriver!" (on Leo) with drummer Gary Kendig and guitarist Hugh Dickey (of Richard Bitch), and "Sadhana" (on Saxophonis) with Lucas, as well as Kendig and Dickey. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy and has written hundreds of music and book reviews in various print and on-line journals. Walto recently published "The Perennial Solution Center: Conversations and Readings on Mysticism and the Psychology of Religion" (which is available at Amazon). He lives near Boston with his wife, two daughters, and a cat.
