Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog out September 29, 2023 Pre-order vinyl and CD here: Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet “High on a Rocky Ledge (feat. Marissa Nadler)“ A film by Jenni Hensler Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog features brilliant new re-imaginings of the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the blind composer who lived on the streets of Manhattan and became known in the 1960s as “the Viking of Sixth Avenue” for his striking appearance. His beautiful and haunting music was an inspiration to Philip Glass and Steve Reich, who called him “the godfather of minimalism.” Songs and Symphoniques features a diverse cast of special guests, and showcases the work of five arrangers from Ghost Train Orchestra, all digging deep to revitalize Moondog’s uplifting message for a new generation.
