Artists on Moondog
"Stefan Lakatos is the leading exponent of the Moondog method
of drum playing," wrote Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, on the liner
notes to the first LP of the Bracelli string project (1986). Stefan
became a close friend of Moondog over 25 years ago, and has devoted
his time since to his master's music, inheriting the unique percussion
instrument known as the trimbas. By performing Moondog's music on
Moondog's instrument as Moondog taught him, Stefan is recreating the
original sound and the subtle characteristics of this challenging
music, conducting the ensembles from the trimbas rather than the podium.
Thus he is introducing each new generation to the work of Moondog
as only he can do. |
