About the Author
Harry Partch is a pioneering composer and theorist whose innovative approach to music challenges conventional scales and instruments. Drawing from ancient traditions and personal exploration, he developed a unique 43-tone scale and custom-built instruments to realize his visionary compositions. His seminal work, Genesis Of A Music, serves as both manifesto and technical guide, detailing the philosophical and practical foundations of his microtonal system. Partch's writings and creations continue to influence experimental musicians and scholars seeking alternatives to Western tuning norms.
