There Will Never Be Another Harry Partch

Partch was profoundly idiosyncratic. Hermann von Helmholtz’s important book Sensations of Tone (1863) sparked an interest in tunings, especially just intonation. But Partch didn’t just compose music in alternate tunings; he followed the idea of musical frequencies (pitches) all the way back to Pythagoras, combining this with his love of Greek drama and early exposure to inflected languages, like Mandarin, to reconstruct the basics of music from the ground up, building a 43-note to the octave scale to realize his music. Then, to play that music, he built a series of string and percussion instruments tuned to his scale, and even re-tuned pump organs.
