Harry Partch’s Instruments

KIRCHERIAN HARMONICS WEEK:
Harry Partch – composer, theorist, musical innovator, inventor of the 43-tone scale, creator of dozens of bizarre and visionary musical instruments — is a Hero of the Athanasius Kircher Society. We have recently discovered an incredibly enjoyable web site that uses Flash technology to let you play Partch’s ingenious instruments, including the Boo, the Zymo-Xyl, the Quadrangularus Reversum, and the Eucal Blossom. What a fantastic project.
** We recommend this biography of Partch.
** Also, a guide to Partch’s instruments, with photographs.
