About Me

walto
I've published articles in the areas of epistemology, metaphysics, value theory, democracy, religion, and aesthetics (in such journals as JP, PPR, and Perspectives of New Music), and have edited a book on the philosopher Everett Hall, whose work I've championed for over 40 years. I've provided research and expert testimony to both the legislative and executive branches of Mass. government, and have been an occasional philosophy professor since 1978, when I received my Ph.D. from Brown. Some of my papers can be downloaded from academia.edu. I've written a book on democratic theory and review democracy books for 3:16 AM Mag. I've put out some CDs of improvised and composed music and appeared on disc (including Leo Lab, Tzadik, and Ogre-Ogress) with such talents as Gary Lucas, Mat Maneri, and Glenn Freeman. I used to interview musicians and review recorded music and books on music for Cadence Magazine, Signal to Noise, Bagatellen, and Paris Transatlantic. Some compositional and keyboard output can be heard on Spotify, Apple Music, and at youtube.
