Performer offers Moore musit What Thu By Aaron Meier The Battalion T he cover of Ian Moore’s lat est album, Modernday Folk lore, shows a statue of a woman bending over with her head embedded in a boulder. Moore, a folk-rock musician based in Austin, said he does not want to live like that statue — with his head buried in a rock. Moore has been touring the country promoting Modernday Folklore, his third album. He re cently finished a tour of the Southeast, including Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee. Moore said he especially liked performing in Lafayette and Ian Moore is playing at the Dixie Theatre tonight. rseman’s As in’s barn yar Horse Cer lion.

This appreciation for the blues manifests itself in Moore’s latest work, but he said blues and R&B have not always been a part of his music. His music continually changes, borrowing from many genres of music, unlike his self-titled debut album, which carried more pop and rock influences. Moore said his influences also constantly change, depending on what kind of music he enjoys at the time. His current influences include blues artist Blind Willy Johnson, a Canadian band called Big Sugar, and Chris Whitley, but some in fluences will always stay with him, such as Stevie Wonder and the Beatles. Moore said his travels as a child have affected his music. He lived in Mexico, Austin and India, and he said the diverse cultures had a strong influence on him. “Culture, music and food are all important to a culture,” Moore said. "Especially food. Food is the fuel of life.” The influence of India appears in Modernday Folklore. Moore plays the sitar, a traditional Indi an stringed instrument, on the al bum. The CD booklet shows a Hindu symbol Moore calls the Wheel of Life. “The cereal-box mythology be hind the Wheel of Life is that it shows the ascension of man’s soul,” Moore said. “It shows the progression of the soul from its base form to Nirvana, and the fears the soul has crossing to the next phase of life.” Moore said the Indian influence in his life comes from his father, who was an Indian scholar. Moore said he has had a picture of the Wheel of Life hanging in his bed room since childhood. Moore also spent his child hood exploring different musical instruments. He started studying the violin at age 6 and said his early experi ences playing the violin helped him develop his self-esteem. “1 remember playing songs, and afterwards my mother and her friends would applaud for me,” he said. Moore played the violin until he was 14 when he injured his hand and had to stop playing for a year. After his hand healed, he decided to start playing the guitar.
