This way: Hound Dog
Guest contributor Eric Burton:
Walter Steding, an American musician and visual artist from Harmony, Pennsylvania, debuted in New York City in the late seventies as a one-man band, opening for acts like Blondie and The Ramones. In the eighties, he assisted Andy Warhol, who became his producer.
As a violinist with The Electric Symphony, Steding created electronic instruments, including a synthesizer linked to a biofeedback device. He performed at art galleries and clubs like CBGBs and collaborated with artists such as Jim Carroll and David Byrne. Known as "Doc Steding," he led the orchestra on Glenn O’Brien’s T.V. Party and formed his band, Walter Steding and The Dragon People, in 1980, releasing records on Red Star and Animal Records. Featured here is a collaboration with Robert Fripp on a rendition of "Hound Dog" from Steding's 1980 self-titled album.
