@TouchingYou wow …
@TouchingYou wow that dax thingy does sounds interesting, still it uses a contact microphone so in a way it’s part of the big expansion of sound that happened around the turn of last century, amplification and is therefore electronic.
Thanks for the info anyway i love weird instruments and had never heard of that thing before.
PS: Dylan is a legened

I don’t think …
I don’t think that’s correct.
EX: the Daxaphone COULD’VE been invented in the 1700s, but wasn’t invented until the last 30 years.
And it sounds as crazy as anything electronic you can think of!
I think Partch was more creative than a Bob Dylan, but less creative than a Hans Reichel.
That’s all.

@TouchingYou real instruments have been with us for too long to really find anything that unique, computers are probabally our best bet for somthing crazy now, being spoiled by modern technology has probabally desensitized us to how different these instruments would have sounded when partch was playing with them

Personally, I’m consistently disappointed by Partch.
EX: odd percussion is the laziest and easiest “new instruments” to make.
EX: his compositions are not that radical. (Some sound like ordinary african tribal / drum stuff, for instance.)
I want to hear music that sounds like NOTHING ELSE on earth.
Any recommendations?
8:50 above is GREAT!

In addition to admiring Partch, I like the tone & style of this old documentary I love how it begins showing those 50’s people playing stick ball & then it shows Harry Partch with his pipe looking out @ the neighborhood while the creative,rhythmic music plays! Partchs music makes my mouth water & somehow brings more value & feeling to sounds,after listening to him if I play guitar I can feel the music more powerfully, It makes me respect the simple thud of my hand on the wood of the guitar

though ives is brilliant, if his music is stronger than those other two remains subjective.

john cage is very well-known, though. partch gets even less credit than ives, and of the three mavericks he (partch) is, for me, the most important (though cage gets points for most playful, i suppose, and ives for strongest actual musical output).

He is one of the most genius musicians that ever lived but he hasn’t been seen by everyone because it’s not conventional music. The same can be said for John Cage even though they are some of the greatest musicians.

“this is not concert music” what a genius. i don’t think anyone else has come close to such pure dedication to music.
