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, Paul Panhuysen, and Philip Krumm.
