album: Resonance Volume 7 Number 2
This is an extract from a piece commissioned by the London Musicians’ Collective for their festival in London earlier this year. It’s a tribute to the Kenyan musician William
Ingosi Mwoshi, master of the Shiriri (a one stringed fiddle attached to a resonating drum, played under the arm using a bow). The player also
wears Vikholi , which are small hammered bells filled with ball bearings, tied to the ankles to provide rhythmic accompaniment.

Moondog: The Cosmicode
Louis Hardin, a.k.a. Moondog died 8/9/99, aged 83, after a heart attack.
Self-taught comoposer Louis Hardin lost his sight in his teens when a dynamite cap exploded in his face, which led to him writing all his music in braille. He was well-known
for playing his zither in the street, dressed in robes and a Viking helmet. His pitch became known as Moondog Corner . But he was a respected
jazz composer as well, with a large body of work including the 1995 album from which this track is taken. It features London Brass and London Saxophonic, with John Harle and Gareth
Brady.
