  • "Small audiences of artists and bohemians in loft spaces and galleries in the major East and West coast cities were the only people to see these films."

    My dad organized a screening of Windsong back when he was in college at Wichita. Take THAT, documentary people.

    He was all ready to go off and study with Parch too, but he went and died. Stupid Harry Partch, dying all the time.

  • everything this man did sucked. Not even close. He's just a bum trying to make a quick buck.

  • One or the greatest irl trolls of all time!

  • He was the first Blue Man Group in terms of visual performance!

  • shame there isn't higher quality audio of these amazing sounds

  • @Bass5el i think that's Danlee Mitchell.

  • To all of the posts who think that what he does is easy,i really dont know what to say.i suggest listening Hal Wilner's weird Nightmare wher they play Mingus with H.Partch instruments.

  • @Bass5el

    Definitely a heavy gamelan influence. Part gamelan part Partch :)

  • 3:22- The Sideburns of Ultimate Death!!!
