About Ernest Hood
Ernest Hood (1923-1995) was a musician and composer from Portland, OR, United States. He was a jazz guitarist in the Portland area in the 1940s, playing with his brother Bill and saxophonist Charlie Barnet. Hood contracted polio in the early 1950s, which confined him to using a wheelchair for the rest of his life. As he could no longer hold a guitar, he started playing the zither. He actually played zither on some of Flora Purim's early albums. Hood started making field recordings as early as in 1956 and eventually discovered the synthesizer.
