Feeling A Bit Partched
Next weekend Harry Partch’s Oedipus will be presented at MSU. Partch was a 20th century composer who created his own theory of music based on a 43 note scale and built his own instruments (think gourd trees and cone gongs). Oedipus will be performed on the original Partch Instrumentarium which has been housed at the Partch Institute on the campus of Montclair State University since 1999. More here.
