{"title":"Moondog","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoondog (1916-1999) was an American avant-garde composer, musician, and poet who was born in Marysville, Kansas. He was a street performer and was known for his unique appearance, wearing a cloak and a Viking helmet. He is also known as the “Viking of Sixth Avenue”. He was an influential figure in the American music scene, and was a major influence on musicians such as Philip Glass, La Monte Young, and Steve Reich.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoondog released several studio albums throughout his career, the most notable of which include The Story of Moondog (1953), Moondog (1969), and Moondog 2 (1974). He also released several singles and EPs, including \"Bird's Lament\" (1959), \"Stamping Ground\" (1965), and \"The Viking of Sixth Avenue\" (1972).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Moondog is that he was one of the first artists to make use of a technique called “phasing”, which is an effect used in modern electronic music to create unique sound textures. He was also known to perform on the streets of New York City with a wide variety of homemade instruments, including a “snakering”, which is a type of handmade percussion instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"moondog-moondog-44558","title":"Moondog – Moondog","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003eHe was born as Louis Hardin, but in the music world he immortalized himself as Moondog. His avant-garde compositions influenced an entire generation of minimal music composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Now \"Moondog\", the album of the blind Viking of Manhattan, which he recorded in 1969 under the aegis of producer James William Guercio, is being re-released on vinyl. It is the first pressing of the LP in over a decade and featured all the titles of the original. Inspired by classical music, breathtaking symphonic miniatures (some dedicated to Charlie Parker and Benny Goodman) were created here, which one must have heard in order to believe in their existence.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/moondog\"\u003eMoondog\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Caribou Records, Columbia Masterworks, Legacy\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/big-band\"\u003eBig Band\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Moondog+Theme\"\u003eTheme\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Moondog+Stamping+Ground\"\u003eStamping Ground\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Moondog+Symphonique+#3+(Ode+To+Venus)\"\u003eSymphonique #3 (Ode To Venus)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Moondog+Symphonique+#6+(Good+For+Goodie)\"\u003eSymphonique #6 (Good For Goodie)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMini-Sym #1\u003cbr\u003eB1a I - Allegro\u003cbr\u003eB1b II - Andante Adagio\u003cbr\u003eB1c II - Vivace\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Moondog+Lament+I,+\" bird\u003eLament I, \"Bird'S Lament\"\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWitch Of Endor\u003cbr\u003eB3a I - Dance\u003cbr\u003eB3b II - Trio\u003cbr\u003eB3b1 A.
