Visions of fields: rhythmist

“trees against the sky, fields of plenty, rivers to the sea: this, and more spreads before me” – Moondog

One of the finest American Composers.

Visionary poly-rhythmist. Outsider, heatbringer.

A huge influence over the BOOMARM vision, and commitment to realness from all corners of Musical thought.

Louis Thomas Hardin aka MOONDOG.

Here’s a vinylrip of side B from the Honest Jon’s re-issue of the Snaketime Series LP.

ENJOY!
