Calv carries on the legacy of Moondog (aka The Viking of Sixth Avenue) with full support from the Moondog archives!<\/em>

Stockton, NJ \u2013 Percussionist Julian Calv was a music major who recently graduated from Moravian University in Bethlehem, PA. He now resides in the art community of Windsor, VT. Calv can occasionally be seen on Church Street in Burlington, VT, busking much in the way Moondog, aka the Viking of Sixth Avenue, did in NYC during the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s.

Calv has studied every aspect of the avant-garde musician\u2019s creative life. In addition to composing and performing, Moondog\u2019s life included the invention of several musical instruments, most famously the trimba (a sort of triangular drum). Calv has even built his own one-of-a-kind trimba, going to great lengths to travel to Sweden and Germany to meet with fellow Moondog aficionados, and study the design of the instrument. Moondog archivist Wolfgang Gnida states,\u00a0\u201cJulian Calv – the future of the trimba, that’s what I called Julian some time ago. That may seem a bit of an exaggeration, but since the time I’ve been working at the Moondog archives, I\u2019ve yet to meet a musician who has been as intensely involved with the trimba as Julian.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>

Calv had this to say about his latest release,\u00a0\u201c\u2018Encore\u2019 is written by Moondog and performed by Ava Bloomfield on piano and myself. The song was originally titled \u2018Utsu\u2019 and played on an instrument Moondog built having the same name. This reinterpretation of the song brings the utsu’s melody to the piano keys. \u2018Encore\u2019 is one of nine songs from an upcoming album titled \u2018Nonstop Motion,\u2019 featuring the music of Moondog and Julian all wrapped up in one.\u201d<\/em>

In addition to covering Moondog material, Calv has now been creating his own percussion-based compositions in a style reminiscent of the late composer. His first release, \u201cRoute 4,\u201d and follow up \u201cThorn and Roots\u201d have been picked up on multiple Spotify playlists.
