Harry Partch - Delusions of the fury Pt3

"In his long-awaited masterwork, "Delusion of the Fury: A ritual of dream an delusion", he rises above all attempts at descriptive containment and becomes quite simple heroic. "Delusion of the Fury," proceeding from tragedy to comedy, is nothing less than the full, ritualistic expression, in vocal, instrumental and corporeal terms, of the reconciliation by the living both with death and with life. It is a total Partch statement, incorporating voices, mime, his celebrated instruments, dance, lighting and staging, all working to express this philosophical concept." -Eugene Paul

I fancy myself an "avante garde" musician. Have known the name of Harry Partch for decades but could never trouble myself to know his work. This is so beautiful original unpretentious. I am blown away. So sophisticated and primal at the same time. He invented his own system, his own world. Thank you for posting this amazing video.

all through part 1 and 2, I'm thinking this is incredible, why does it sound like something I have heard before.

Then I read the comments here and realized - Fingerprince! (and Not Available, for that matter)

hmm, when i first heard Partch i didn't think i would ever like him but this one professor saying "after 10 minutes you totally forget how strange it is" convinced me to watch this play and here I am 20+ minutes in, mesmerized.
