Louis Hardin coined the name himself when the company was formed -- as soon as Moondog and Ilona Goebel started working together -- in order to protect his work legally.

Now managarm serves as the clearing house for every production of the artist -- his music, his poetry, his philosophy. -- and it owns all the rights to his work.

In order to copy, print or distribute any part of Moondog's work, you must get written permission from managarm.
