Harry Partch
-- iconoclastic American
composer, musical theorist, philosophic instrument builder, raconteur,
hobo, artist -- presents unique challenges and aesthetics. This
site, centering on the life and works of Partch, is maintained by
people who knew him, worked with him, and are familiar with what
moved him. We are one set of viewpoints, presented in a tone
that we hope Harry himself would have approved: sometimes irreverent,
occasionally bordering on the academic, essentially uncompromising.
His beliefs, concepts and attitudes are advocated here. We are loose,
but we are serious.
And, just so you know, this is all produced under
the auspices of the Harry Partch Foundation
(Danlee Mitchell, Executive Director) -- which makes Corporeal
Meadows the official Partch site.
Our focus is to share information about Partch,
examine his creative output, help with a historical perspective,
track current events, and make an attempt to extend Partch's spirit.
Our design
goal is to maximize access: text documents are available, graphics
and sound materials live in a separate area, all with the intent
to provide information not easily found elsewhere. We direct you
to other Partch resources, keep you abreast of concerts, recordings
and publications, and provide links to Partch-related sites.
Corporeal
Meadows is Harry's spot online. Start here for spirit-magic . . .
