Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet - High on a Rocky Ledge (ft. Marissa Nadler)
Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog (2023)
On “Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog,“ Ghost Train Orchestra teams up with the trailblazing Kronos Quartet to celebrate and reimagine the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the ground-breaking composer and poet who lived on the streets of New York City in the 50s and 60s, and influenced the minimalists Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. A blind composer who moved from Kansas to New York City and built his own instruments and mythology, Moondog’s story and music continue to be an inspiration to many.
Along with guests Sam Amidon, Jarvis Cocker, Petra Haden, Karen Mantler, Marissa Nadler, Aoife O’Donovan, Rufus Wainwright and Joan Wasser, the two groups explore Moondog’s sense of whimsy, wonder and adventure through a cross-section of songs and instrumentals for large ensemble, string ensemble, percussion and voice.
The vinyl and CD packages include an essay by biographer Robert Scotto, Moondog’s song lyrics, extensive in-studio photographs by Dan Efram, and an interview with Kronos Quartet founder David Harrington and Ghost Train Orchestra founder Brian Carpenter, mediated by music historian Irwin Chusid.
