“Men of mirth are men of worth, wherever men are silly, anywhere from Athens, Greece, to Santiago, Chile.”
3rd edition of the book first published in 2016.
Moondog —born Louis Thomas Hardin (1916-1999)—stands as a visionary avant-garde icon, bridging the gap between classical composition, primal rhythms and the pulse of the New York streets.
Also known as "The Viking of 6th Avenue", this timeless artist crafts a singular universe through his invention of instruments, mastery of counterpoint and rhythmic soundscapes… An apparent nonchalance, often underpinned by a complex musical architecture in a blend of cultures.
