Welcome to Episode 3 of Anechoic Chamber - free-form, "erased interviewer" dialogue on the fertile margins of art and culture.
This episode's guest is Weasel Walter, restless multi-instrumentalist associated with the "brutal prog" and "punk jazz" musical idioms, whose character he has played a key role in shaping while active in three distinct geographic 'scenes.' Over the course of 200+ commercially available recordings, and collaborations with hundreds of sympathetic musicians, Walter has built an entire cottage industry upon intensity, exertion, and the wholesale rejection of tepid attitudes. Key moments have included the formation of the Flying Luttenbachers combo and their integration into the '90s Chicago scene based around 'Skin Graft' records, collaborations with numerous luminaries of avant-jazz (e.g. Roscoe Mitchell, Marshall Allen, Henry Kaiser, Evan Parker), and international touring with Lydia Lunch Retrovirus.
