Melodica: slow music

Chris Coco’s award winning weekly radio broadcast. An eclectic selection of brilliant new music starting with house and moving on to electronica, downtempo, acoustic and all sorts of other styles loosely connected to dance and electronic music. Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music.

This episode… Slow music, it’s like slow food except it’s not food, it’s music. So that’s a Balearic stew of old and new, electronic and acoustic, it can only be Melodica.

Chiller Cabinet – Moondog

Moondog was the nom de plume of Louis T. Hardin. He was a New York City street musician and former beat poet who was blinded as a young adult. From the late 1940s until 1974, he was a permanent fixture on 54th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. He was known not only for his music and poetry, but also for the distinctive Viking garb that he wore, including a horned helmet. In a search for new sounds, he also invented several musical instruments, such as the “Oo”, a small triangular shaped harp, and the “Trimba”, a triangular percussion instrument invented in the late 40s.
