About

American musician. Born on May 26, 1916 in Marysville, Kansas, USA. Died on September 8, 1999 in Münster, Germany. Cult act / revered pioneer on the avant-garde / minimalist scene, usually within the jazz realm. Moondog wrote most of his music in braille, having lost his sight in an accident involving a dynamite cap at the age of 17. His revolutionary attitude towards composition and melody was lauded by such eminent contemporaries as Philip Glass and Steve Reich, while his style and attitude drew comparisons to Harry Partch. His influence can be seen in the music of Stereolab and Moonshake among many others. For his own label see Moondog Records (2)
