Customer Review

Louis Thomas HARDIN who named himself MOONDOG was born in 1916 into a family "nomadisante". the unexpected explosion of a dynamite stick blinds him very young. He will however continue strong musical studies ... practices.
Of course we can write his music mocks a fig different genres though remains committed to Native American chants, jazz (Sun Ra was a fan) and Classical (admiration from Philip GLASS).
Indeed "Tim" (his nickname for his family) has continued to deconstruct and restructure music to make his own musical idiom itself multiple and polymorphous. There is no synthesis he created.
For example he does not hesitate to put the business on the art of "point against" magnified by JS BACH in other recordings than one. But no dissonance in this work out of the ordinary.
Trans-gender and so minimalist.
This double CD, which in fact only here, is an excellent door to enter the world of this now regarded musician as one of the most important of the second half of 20em century
the first "sequence" is more "jazzy" but with a lot of back and inventiveness. It explores a real world of big band of "club" training and daily life. This is a very pleasant and profoundly human moment you will find, among other nuggets, one of the first two versions of the now famous "Bird's lament"
The second sequence, totally different, is even more subtle. Under the cover of almost rhymes ethno-Amerindian but percussive, blandly tells MOONDOG (apparently) the passage of time and the cruelty of life, casually, without touching it. Beautiful and hypnotic.
Go, go off the beaten track and hackneyed. This music is unique, rare and beautiful.
It leaves you speechless but sometimes brings so many ways to go.
Thank you "Tim"
