Why this record

“The blind Viking of 6th Avenue's second major label record is a quietly radical collection of rounds, canons, and street-born rhythms that defies every category it might be placed in.”

About Moondog

Moondog

Louis Thomas Hardin, known professionally as Moondog, was an American composer, musician, performer, music theoretician, poet and inventor of musical instruments. Largely self-taught as a composer, his prolific work widely drew inspiration from jazz, classical, Native American music which he had become familiar with as a child, and Latin American music. His strongly rhythmic, contrapuntal pieces and arrangements later influenced composers of minimal music, in particular American composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
