Description:

The strange and bizarre world of Harry Partch, a master of American experimental music!Harry Partch became the pioneer of American experimental music in a different way than John Cage. He questioned the twelve averages that had dominated Western music up to that time, and in the 1930s, he completed a theory of temperament based on the 43differential temperament, which became a trend in contemporary music in the latter half of the 20th century. He spent his youth as a hobo (seasonal migrant worker) in Depression-era America, and his music strongly reflects a message of political protest similar to that of folk singers Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.A must-listen and must-have for anyone interested in American experimental music!
