Moondog Posters and Art Prints

Louis Thomas Hardin, known as Moondog, was an American musician, composer, theoretician, poet and inventor of several musical instruments. He was blind from the age of 16. Hardin lived in New York City from the late 1940s until 1972, and during this time he could often be found on 6th Avenue, between 52nd and 55th Streets, wearing a cloak and a horned helmet sometimes busking or selling music, but often just standing silently on the sidewalk. He was recognized as "the Viking of 6th Avenue" by thousands of passersby and residents who were not aware of his musical career.

"Machines were mice and men were lions once upon a time. But now that it's the opposite it's twice upon a time." - Moondog

Terry Riley. Edgar Varese. Bob Moog. Philip Glass. Steve Reich. Delia Derbyshire. Moondog. Karlheinz Stockhausen. John Cage. So many other important figures helped shape the experimental sounds of the 20th Century. Sadly, the mug is only so large.
