The most advanced musical mind ever?

I think so.

[radiofriendly]

First, I know you don't learn anything about music in school. But I think my professors mentioned Harry Partch just in passing in music history. This is the only original composer--plus he's American and he's not even covered.

Absolute genius

[DarkZekeX]

@radiofriendly He's not "the only original composer." Foolish absolute. He is awesome though :3

[SmallRubberFeet]

I wish all "product demos" were shot like this

Anyone who fails to see how brilliant Partch is doesn't deserve the ears that they clearly don't know how to use. He is a genius. After watching this video, search 'Battles - Mirrored', they were a band whom I considered to be fairly influential until I realised the similarities.

This is the version that I restored. I left a signature in it that is very different from the original.

Please support the non-profit Innova Recordings of the American Composers Forum by purchasing a copy so we can keep up the work.

Genius.

[voxhunden]

His way of talking is a kind of very relaxing music in itself.

@TouchingYou "Doing shit that every avant garde fan does?" Harry Partch WAS the avant-garde. He was doing things in the 1920s. This video just barely scratches the surface.

OMG I find your alphabet to be weak and derivative, just like your pretentious, oh-look-at-me opinions. Troll.

[DarkShroom]

@TouchingYou ah dude but this is the original cliche ;)

by all means develop your own opinions but also try to understand that we build who we are upon the foundations of those that came before us, partch was very influential, not just in his odd experiments but also his lifestyle
