Moondog - Ground In The Ionian Mode

(l'album, costituito da una serie di registrazioni all'organo e al clavicembarlo, è irreperibile, fatta eccezione per questo unico brano)
Contro la " fallocrazia di chitarre irate e tamburi da balconata ultrà" (grazie @[imasoulman]) proseguo imperterrito il mio sforzo di diffusione dell'opera del grande Moondog:

(4) 1957: The story of Moondog

Perpetual Motion

Moondog - Organ Rounds [The Story of Moondog] 1957

"Moondog is a poet who versifies in sound a diarist overcome by love, curiosity and amusement by everything that reaches his ears, all of which he transposes into a symphony of himself. It may be the roar from the streets; it may be the casual chatter in a room or, best of all, it will be that secret music that seeps through imagination and memory. These experiences, so dull to the dull but so alive to him, he orchestrates into a record of those enchanting conversations everyone can hold with himself would he only listen for a bemused moment. They make up the script of that unique tragi-comedy, the story of anyone's life. Pricking up our ears would be so easy, yet it is seldom done. But when Moondog compels us to do it, we are entranced and delivered willingly into new worlds of meaning."
