How is it that these students were able to dig this aesthetic & apply themselves with such dilligence? Without any one of them, the piece might fall apart, but it's QUITE together........and it is simply amazing. Some of the things that came out of the 1960s were more a testament to human ingenuity than things made of today. You will not find one power cord in that performance, only in recording! How absoutely fantastic. 100% organic, people powered.

This is amazing. i wonder if this had an influence on Jerry Goldsmith's compositions for the original Planet of the Apes soundtrack. There is something similar going on.

I've heard about this Patch guy, and his strangely tuned home-made instruments. This is very interesting music, combining elements of avant garde and ethnic percussive music, it's absolutely out there.

I find that Partch is one of the few composers who sounds like no other composer.

This music is so incredibly fucked up and good at the same time. It sounds so dark.
