"I like to write chamber and choral music, especially for orchestra. But since it is not always easy to have orchestral works performed, the organ is the next best medium to give the composer vast tonal resources...", Moondog wrote in 1978 in the liner notes accompanying the 'Selected Works' album - the confidential American cousin of Moondog in Europe, the first album he recorded in Germany. With 'New Sound', the Minisym Ensemble goes the opposite direction, taking the pieces for organ(s) constituting the 'A New Sound Of An Old Instrument' album (1979) - as well as pieces composed in Europe during the same period - towards a new and singular instrumentation.
