Saindo hoje de uma experiência intensa no evento "In Hommage from the Multitude - Studies in non-Equidistant Microintervals" na @hkb_musik em Berna, na Suíça. Fui pra lá, meio que como um gaiato no navio, pois o assunto não é minha especialidade, para falar sobre minha experiência no projeto REINVENTING SMETAK, do @ensemblemodern e sobre o processo criativo de minha peça "volvere". Pude conhecer gente muito bacana, trabalhos muito interessantes e um pouco mais sobre o assunto, através da música de Harry Partch, Smetak, Ben Johnston, Risset e Sandberg. Obrigado @joaocarlosvictor pelo convite, parabéns pelo trabalho com Smetak e obrigado para a HKB Musik por acolher a mim e ao meu trabalho. Agora, já em Portugal para fazer algumas atividades nos conservatórios de Castelo Branco e Seia, com meu brother @tuliusaugustus, finalizando com uma mesa sobre processos criativos em composição musical com @silvioferrazm e Sérgio Kafejian no @lisboaincomum do amigo @jaime_reis_composer no dia 3/2. Muito trabalho e pouco passeio pro meu gosto. :) Mas é bom também! #harrypartch #contemporarymusic #switzerland #portugal #harrypartch #benjohnston (em Bern) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5CGIrACxB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 – Sept 3, 1974) “Traditions in music do not begin with the recent European centuries. They begin with the human race, in the deepest wells of wisdom.” excerpt from The Ancient Magic essay by Harry Partch The Telegraph “I have thrown the petty respectable life with all is comforts behind me after the effort to broaden and beautify it has destituted me and drained my stamina. All right–let me throw it behind without guile, without hoping either for a return to it or for a constant absence. After all, it did not request my efforts. The normal live body hopes for the respect and love of others, and enough of the world to bestow largesse. He hopes and he abandons hope by turn. In the first there is fire to live, but in the second there is greater peace.” ― Harry Partch, Bitter Music: Collected Journals, Essays, Introductions, and Librettos ------------- “Encouraged by his mother, Partch learned several instruments at a young age. By fourteen, he was composing, and in particular took to setting dramatic situations. He dropped out of the University of Southern California‘s School of Music in 1922 over dissatisfaction with the quality of his teachers. He took to self-study in San Francisco’s libraries, where he discovered Hermann von Helmholtz‘s Sensations of Tone, which convinced him to devote himself to music based on scales tuned in just intonation. In 1930, he burned all his previous compositions in a rejection of the European concert tradition. Partch frequently moved around the US. Early in his career, he was a transient worker, and sometimes a hobo; later he depended on grants, university appointments, and record sales to support himself. In 1970, supporters created the Harry Partch Foundation to administer Partch’s music and instruments."

Harry Partch b/w John Cage "The Music of..." LP. Picked this up last weekend at Half Price Books. Normally I don't pay more than a buck for cancelled library records but this one was pretty clean and one you don't come across every day, so I felt it worth the $5 spot they were asking, though I doubt it is worth much more than that even in better condition than mine is. Was planning on listening to a stack of soul 45's I procured yesterday but this has been calling me for awhile now. I knew I should listen to this when alone as it is pretty dense avant-garde stuff. Definitely not casual after dinner listening. Woulda been cool if it was a collaboration between Partch and Cage instead of just a side of each others individual compositions. Partch's vocals are a cross between Jello Biafra and John Astin if you ask me. Still gonna listen to those soul 45's after this album. #LP #Vinyl #Records #HarryPartch #JohnCage #TheMusicOf #RecordedAnthologyOfAmericanMudic #AvantGarde #OutsiderMusic #TheDreamerThatRemains #DoNotLoiter #LetUsLoiterTogether

I let out the true squeal of the avant-garde when I found a Harry Party record in the @capitalcityrecords bargain bin. #harrypartch #vinyl #vinyligclub https://ift.tt/2Zm9P1W

#harrypartch #hobocomposer #barstowcomposition #hitchhikergraffiti His best-known music, particularly "Barstow," eight hitchhiker songs with texts taken from Depression-era graffiti, a work Partch liked to refer to as his "Hobo" Concerto, and the other hobo work, "U.S. Highball." x "When I was a hobo, I began studying the hobo speech around me. And this is what I wanted . . . the speech around me and not this strange language sung by people in opera and on the concert stage." x Partch created a music all his own. He invented a 43-pitch scale of microtones (as opposed to the 12 tones used by Western music) to better capture the vocal inflections of common speech. He made instruments to play those pitches, fabulous instruments. They include huge marimbas, strange organs, adapted violas and guitars and an array of bells made out of cloud-chamber bowls he got from the glass shop at UC Berkeley's radiation lab in 1950. Partch developed a peculiar singing style, and he produced a new kind of music theater that was based on principles from ancient Greek theater, Chinese opera and heaven knows what else.

Pleased to share my composition for the Partch Ensemble! The video of the performance is preceded by an interview where John Schneider and I talk about the piece. Performed by Matt Cook, Argenta Walther, myself, and Derek Joseph Stein.
