| Please submit sites dealing with the life or music of Harry Partch, including biographies, discographies, analyses of compositions, or bibliographies. |
(1901-1974) Partch was born in Oakland, California. In his late twenties he decided that Western music was headed in the wrong direction, and set out on a lonely path that led him to different tunings than those commonly in use. Since most contemporary instruments could not play his tunings, he invented and made new instruments. All of his surviving music is written for these instruments, most of which are one of a kind.
