After two and a half years in Hollywood, Horowitz returned to New York again in 2001 to begin a collaboration with Sussan Deyhim, Shirin Neshat and film maker Gausem E♭rahhamian on a multimedia opera. Logic of the Birds was co-produced by Lincoln Center, Art Angel in London, The Kitchen, The Walker Art Museum and, Change in Europe. It was based on Attar˙s 12th century text and starred Deyhim as the female heroine, a mystic bird known as the Simorg – highly unusual for that century. There was a film shot, and projected by three DVDs onto three large screens, with a cast of thirty human "birds" in the film as well as surrounding Deyhim on stage. The music was performed and mixed live in surround by Horowitz.

1997
After the success of The Sheltering Sky, Horowitz traveled frequently to Los Angeles to work on film scores in the early 90s but eventually moved to London with Deyhim in 1993 to work on a CD for Sony Classical. The result was Majoun. "Deyhim's molten melismas focused by Horowitz's undulating and resonant instrumentation" (The Wire) Majoun was recorded in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Morocco and Bali. The string section was recorded in Morocco with players from the Moroccan National Radio and Television Orchestra. It featured eerie, hovering violin solos by Abdellah El Miry and the great Indian violinist Chandru. The CD also featured were Doug Wimbish and Jaron Lanier, Byron Wallen, Steve Shehan, Reza Derakshani and Keith Le Blanc. The Majoun band toured The US and in Europe.
VARTINA BMG Records
Also in the late 90's Horowitz was asked to produce a group of Finnish Karelian folk music singers known as Värttinä for BMG. He was very interested in the group because they sang in the prose poem meter of an old Finnish dialect called Karelian – one of the languages that inspired Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. The album, Vihma, released in 1998, was No. 1 in Japan.
GIFT OF THE GNAWA Horowitz was also instrumental in the career of Gnawa musician Hassan Hakmoun during his first ten years in New York and he performed and recorded with Hassan on many CDs including Gift of the Gnawa with Don Cherry and Adam Rudolph.
THE GIFT OF LOVE
Returning to New York from London in the late 90s Horowitz and Deyhim were asked to compose The Gift of Love for Deepak Chopra. It was a charity project for Mother Teresa and featured an unusual combination of movie stars, poets and activists reading Rumi. Horowitz also worked on many other fund raising projects including the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council directed by Peter Rodger in 2001.

NIGHTSPIRIT MASTERS Axiom / Island Records
In 1990, Bill Laswell contacted RH wanting to make a CD in Morocco and asked what music he thought would be interesting to do. Richard said it would be to record the Gnaoua (Gnawa) since their cello range sentir is one of the origins of the bass. They co-produced Night Spirit Masters in Marrakech for Axiom with liner notes by Paul Bowles.

AZAX/ATTRA DESERT EQUATIONS
Recording with Sussan Deyhim www.sussandeyhim.com started in 1982 at Noise New York after Frank Eaton http://blog.mixonline.com/mixblog/2012/12/18/power-serge/
the owner of the studio heard their individual projects
and introduced them. Frank handed them the keys to the studio and suggested
they make a record. The release was in 1987 and has become a cult classic. Azax
Attra: Desert Equations, was one of the pioneering efforts to create what
would later become known as world music, drum and bass and trip-hop. High Performance Magazine described the
record as "An electro-ecstatic universe imbued with a sense of ritual and
the unknown". The music was originally written for their first performance
opera at Carnegie Hall. The LA MAMA run featured a gigantic 10-foot-long
(3.0 m) bass speaker in the shape of a datura flower designed by Jack Weisberg and
a three-sided 20-foot-long (6.1 m) revolving pyramid screen hung from the
ceiling designed by Frederick Lahey. Two 16mm films were projected of Deyhim's
dancing on top of the subway grids (filmed shooting up from the tunnel
underneath at 79th street). Azax Attra: Desert Equations was the first
in a series of pieces that opened in New York toured internationally
In 1980, RH returned to the US. He was invited to work with Jan Mattox and Lauren Rush at CCRMA Stanford's computer music research lab where he became interested in resonant loop programs that allowed him to retune the overtones of any sound and place them in a three dimensional virtual space. While in SF he composed and recorded Out of Thin Air and Memoir with SF Symphony principal violinist Daniel Kobialka. He also recorded Eros in Arabia and Never Tech No Foreign Answer on his label Ethnotech in 1982. He worked with SFX designer Frank Serafine on the disc sound for Tron and on Serafine's reel for Star Trek. Another strong influence from that time was Jaron Lanier who he met at a Harry Partch concert at Mills College in 1981. They have been working together on and off ever since (The Chromataphors and other duo / band projects. http://www.jaronlanier.com/MusicReel.html

From 1968 to 1979, Horowitz lived in Paris and Morocco where he composed and studied Arabic, French, music and Eastern philosophy. He performed throughout Europe with his various ensembles including dates with Alan Silva˙s Celestial Communications Orchestra in 1971 where he had a chance to perform with Steve Lacey, Anthony Braxton and Robin Kenyatta, Kent Carter, Rashid Ali, Baikida Carroll, Hugh Levick and Bobby Few.
He wrote and directed a film The Fourth Person Singular and recorded Oblique Sequences/ Solo Ney Improvizations No. 1 at IRCAM (Boulez˙s computer music Lab in Paris) for Shandar Records. In 1974, he met Brion Gysin and Paul Bowles, both of whom became friends and mentors. In 1982, Bowles recommended Horowitz to the American Academy of Arts and Letters for the Goddard Lieberson Composition Award. And in 1988 Bowles recommended him to Bernardo Bertolucci as composer for The Sheltering Sky.
