A lo largo de la historia de la música el sistema de afinación no siempre ha sido el mismo. En la música occidental la escala actual divide la octava en 12 partes o semitonos iguales. Sin embargo, existen otras realidades de sistematización sonora._____Has escuchadoHyperchromatica. Orbital Resonance (2015) / Kyle Gann. Tres pianos Disklaviers.

Episode Summary:California has always attracted outsiders, from the Gold Rush in the 1800s to young actors and filmmakers drawn to Hollywood. California was especially a place of migration during the Great Depression, when tens of thousands came searching for jobs and new beginnings. This is the first of two episodes about writers displaced by the Depression who took different paths to remaking themselves in California and documenting America. Future composer Harry Partch was more comfortable as a migrant than in straight mainstream society. Tillie Olsen found her way from Nebraska to become a reporter-activist who faced long odds to becoming a writer as a woman in the 1930s. With their work on the Federal Writers' Project, Olsen and Partch helped create an expansive picture of California, people in migration, and the day-to-day reality that included deep labor unrest. Tensions that roiled across America boiled over in the California Writers' Project, signaling the struggles to come in the national office.

Alien Territory: Radical, Experimental, & Irrelevant Music in 1970s San Diego (Billingsgate Media, 2023) is the untold story of a sleepy Navy town that became the unlikely gathering point for some of the most innovative, unclassifiable American artists of their time. The late 60s arrival of Harry Partch -- hobo composer, iconoclast and inventor of instruments such as the Harmonic Canon and Quadrangularis Reversum -- jump started a revolution that was as much social as it was musical, drawing on the occult, self-realization and radical political movements of 70s Southern California. Artists as diverse as Partch, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Gaburo, Roger Reynolds, Diamanda Galás, Warren Burt, David Dunn, Robert Turman and Master Wilburn Burchette may have pursued different paths -- Sonic Meditations, compositional linguistics, microtonal scales, invented instruments, cutting edge electronics, underwater synthesizers, Tibetan throat singing, environmental sound, pure noise -- but they also sought to dismantle the systems of American life and replace them with a radically inclusive and socially responsive aesthetic that looked to the future even when it sometimes referenced a distant, idyllically imagined past. In their pursuit of "Irrelevant Music" -- Kenneth Gaburo's term for an untainted music free of constraint and compromise -- these disparate artists constitute a shadow history of American experimental music far removed from the European and East Coast models of the time. Bill Perrine is the director of the documentaries Children of the Stars, It's Gonna Blow!!! San Diego's Music Underground, 1986-96, and Why Are We Doing This In Front of People? Bill's website.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.04.13.536481v1?rss=1 Authors: Lamberti, M. L., Spangler, R. K., Cerdeira, V., Ares, M., Rivollet, L., Ashley, G. E., Coronado, A. R., Tripathi, S., Spiousas, I., Ward, J. D., Partch, C. L., Benard, C. Y., Goya, M. E., Golombek, D. A. Abstract: Circadian rhythms are endogenous oscillations present in nearly all organisms from prokaryotes to humans, allowing them to adapt to cyclical environments close to 24 hours. Circadian rhythms are regulated by a central clock, which is based on a transcription-translation feedback loop. One important protein in the central loop in metazoan clocks is PERIOD, which is regulated in part by Casein kinase 1{varepsilon}/{delta} (CK1{varepsilon}/{delta}) phosphorylation. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, period and casein kinase 1{varepsilon}/{delta} are conserved as lin-42 and kin-20, respectively. Here we studied the involvement of lin-42 and kin-20 in circadian rhythms of the adult nematode using a bioluminescence-based circadian transcriptional reporter. We show that mutations of lin-42 and kin-20 generate a significantly longer endogenous period, suggesting a role for both genes in the nematode circadian clock, as in other organisms. These phenotypes can be partially rescued by overexpression of either gene under their native promoter. Both proteins are expressed in neurons and seam cells, a population of epidermal stem cells in C. elegans that undergo multiple divisions during development. Depletion of LIN-42 and KIN-20 specifically in neuronal cells after development was sufficient to lengthen the period of oscillating sur-5 expression. Therefore, we conclude that LIN-42 and KIN-20 are critical regulators of the adult nematode circadian clock through neuronal cells. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Partch wrote his dance satire The Bewitched to explore how civilization can move forward by rediscovering our ancient past. It showcases the composer's pioneering writing for the female voice, unfolding across ten scenes based on everyday American life plus a prologue and epilogue. The witch appears in each of the scenes, using her magic to provide help and context to each real-life situation. This recording is a remastering of the original mono master tapes from The Harry Partch Collection Volume 4 The Bewitched – A Dance Satire (1955).The Anthology of Recorded Music commissioned composer Taylor Brook to write Block in 2022 to accompany this re-release of the CRI recording of Harry Partch's The Bewitched.Purchase the music (without talk) at:The Bewitched (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Katy Salomon representing Primo Artists.

Synopsis Today's date marks the shared birthday of two of America's most famous “maverick” composers, both hailing from California. June 24, 1901, is the birth date of Harry Partch, an Oakland native. Partch devoted his life to developing an alternate system of tuning. Instead of the conventional Western system of equal temperament, in Partch's harmonic world, microtones were welcomed. To play his expanded scales, Partch designed and built new instruments with colorful names like “marimba eroica” and “cloud chamber bowls.” For Partch, music was a synthesis of theory and theater, ritual and dance -- intensely physical in nature and best experienced live. Harry Partch died in San Diego in 1974. Another Californian, born on this date in 1935, is Colfax native Terry Riley. It was in San Francisco in 1964 that Riley's most famous piece, entitled “In C”, received its premiere. The score consists of 53 phrases, or modules, with each player freely repeating each phrase as many times as desired before proceeding to the next. The result is an unpredictable, unique music work of canonic textures and polyrhythms, capable of being performed by any group of instruments ranging from a marimba ensemble to a full symphony orchestra, and now regarded as one of the seminal works of the so-called “minimalist” movement in music.

John Schneider, radio personality and music director of the Los Angeles-based Partch Ensemble introduces us to the wild and wooly world of American maverick composer Harry Partch (1901-1974). The ensemble's latest album includes some of Partch's greatest hits (including a heretofore unheard recording of Partch himself performing his hobo song cycle Barstow). Also heard: some lesser-known gems including the title track, Partch's Sonata Dementia (a fascinating musical romp through psychoanalysis).

I denne episoden snakker vi oss gjennom Del 1 av Harry Partchs bok Genesis of a Music. Del 1 har 2 kapitler, From Emperor Chun to the vacant lot, og American musical Tendensies. Som helhet er denne delen Partch sin alternative musikkhistorie.

Harry Partch (1901-1974) enjoyed an extended residency at the University of Illinois from 1956-1962, where he continued his work to invent new instruments and compose new music for them. His work has  inspired student composers at Illinois for generations.  In this episode Kerrith Livengood introduces three student compositions written for one of Partch's best known inventions, the adapted viola. Selections heard in this podcast:When This Fire Dies, Our Shadows Roam for adapted guitar and adapted viola, by Stephen Caldwell Piece for adapted viola by Joshua Iyer"Gabriel Thomas" from  Night Partches for adapted viola and intoned voice by Ralph Lewis. Performed by Luke Fitzpatrick. Harry Partch Estate Archives, 1918-1991 Finding Aid at the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music.

Ron Partch dropped truth bombs. He provided clutch advice for people trying to get help, or trying desperately to get through to their loved ones. He offered hope. And he's got plenty of street cred. As the owner and operator of three DUI and Behavioral Health Counseling Centers in northern Illinois, he's seen people in every stage of addiction. ************************************ This episode was presented by Gateway Foundation.

Elvis Costello’s new album, Hey Clockface, veers through all kinds of musical territory: melancholy ballads, spoken word soundscapes, abrasive rockenroll, and songs with an old time jazz flavor. While most of the songs were written in Helsinki and Paris before the Covid-19 lockdown, Costello also collaborated from a distance with New York trumpeter, composer, arranger, and bandleader Michael Leonhart on some of the songs, as he provided words and vocals over music for Michael Leonhart's new material, like "Shut Him Down."  For this Soundcheck Podcast, the two discuss their ongoing and wide-ranging collaboration and how the spoken word pieces on the Hey Clockface bring in guitarists Bill Frisell and Nels Cline, with Leonhart evoking Aaron Copland trumpet riffs as part of a soundscape. There’s mention of using the Partch instruments, New Orleans swing, big band horn arrangements that are in a Fela Kuti vein, working with rapper JSWISS, and learning to be more daring while being prepared to feel foolish. Costello and Leonhart remind us that there’s joy in the making of music - even the sad stuff. Some of the music within the conversation (Mostly from Hey Clockface):

Lauren Partch is an actor, producer, writer, singer, and she is the cousin of our trusty sidekick - Melissa!

Tayler shares a story about accidentally scaring Melissa when they lived together, and Lauren agrees that having Melissa as a roommate leads to many shenanigans. The two discuss Lauren's favorite projects so far, as well as her latest endeavor with My Little Renaissance Girl. In the recap, Melissa and Tayler debate over the definitions of “feature film” and “short film.” Social Media: @lauren_rosemary_ More on My Little Renaissance Girl: https://www.mylittlerenaissancegirl.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thebloompod/support

Guitarist John Schneider is clearly obsessed. In the best, passionate-music-geek kind of way. And the thing is that the object of his obsession - Harry Partch and his work - just engenders that kind of response in people. It probably comes from the fact that Partch himself who was monomaniacally focused: he was so absorbed with the idea that music should be more than just the traditional twelve notes that he invented new musical notation, new notes, new instruments to play said notes, and new music for those instruments. In this episode, John Schneider of the Grammy award-winning PARTCH Ensemble teaches all about the adventurous life and obsessions of Harry Partch, and talks about the PARTCH Ensemble's latest release, Sonata Dementia.

Our guest today is Dr. John Chalmers, author of Divisions of the Tetrachord. He shares his experiences and interactions with Harry Partch, Erv Wilson, Ivor Darreg, and other folks working with microtonal and xenharmonic music. We had a good chat about various tuning systems such as tritriadic scales and the merits of 12, 19, 31, 41, and 53 equal.John also mentions Kathleen Schlesinger, Elsie Hamilton and ancient Greek scales. If anybody can find the missing musical scores of Elsie Hamilton, let us or John know! At 56:26 John talks about ‘The Sound of Feeling’, so here is a recording you can listen to: https://soundcloud.com/esetee/hex-c-gdavid Published writings on microtonal music by John Chalmers: http://www.tonalsoft.com/sonic-arts/chalmers/chalmers.htm John Chalmers's favorite Links: http://www.tonalsoft.com/sonic-arts/chalmers/links.htm WE NOW HAVE A SCHEDULE!

Två outsiders inom den experimenterande och elektroniska musiken - de amerikanska pionjärerna och homosexuella kompositörerna Harry Partch och Richard Maxfield. Som flera av pionjärerna inom den nya amerikanska musiken var även Harry Partch och Rickard Maxfield homosexuella. Under 50-talet upplevde de alla McCarthy-erans jakt på outsiders av olika slag. Både Maxfield och Partch hade ett starkt musikaliskt förhållande till den homosexuella tonsättaren och innovatören John Cages musik. Maxfield blev Cages elev för att senare ta avstamp och skapa sin egen musik. Partch ogillade Cages slumpmusik och sa att Att förlita sig på slumpen och sluta ta beslut är detsamma som att sluta skapa musik.   Harry Partch förklarar i en film att Livet är alltför dyrbart för att tillbringas med betydelsefulla människor. Det var därför han begav sig ut på järnvägarna under den stora depressionen i 30-talets USA och levde som hobo och uteliggare. Han levde ut sin homosexualitet, han svalt och fick syfilis. Detta gjorde han under flera år efter en trygg uppväxt och en lång resa i Europa. Partch fick en gedigen musikalisk utbildning och spelade klarinett, orgel, altfiol och gitarr. Han komponerade tidigt musik med hjälp av det vältempererade västerländska kromatiska tonspråket. Men med tiden blev Partch mer och mer frustrerad över, som han upplevde, den alltför grovhuggna och osofistikerade stämningen av de olika instrumenten. Redan 1923 började han fundera kring detta och 1949 gavs hans märkvärdiga bok Genesis of a Music ut. Ungefär En musiks ursprung. Harry Partch byggde då egna instrument där han bl a använde en 43-tonsskala för varje okatv! Hans första instrument var en på 1930-talet ombyggd altfiol. Han byggde också flera Kitharor, alltså grekiska lyror. Sådana som poeten Sappho spelade på. En av hans kitharor har 72 strängar! Andra instrument från Parch's hand är Diamantmarimba, Boo I och Boo 2, Chromelodeon, Cloud Chamber Bowls och Gourd Tree som finns med här på fotot av Harry Partch.  Harry Partch dog 1974. Ett geni och samtidigt en outsider. Han skapade en egen musikteori och sina egna instrument. Partch's musik influerades tidigt av musik från både Asien och Afrika.   Richard Maxfield är en av elektronmusikens bortglömda pionjärer. Maxfield var den förste amerikanske kompositör som byggde sin egen elektroniska utrustning för att kunna generera rent elektronisk bandmusik utan inblandning av mikrofoner och s k konkret musik. 1959 skapade han sin första elektroniska stycke, Sine Music (A Swarm of Butterflies Encountered Over the Ocean). Han utnämnde den senare legendaren LaMonte Young till sin assistent. Young är allmänt erkänd som en av de första minimalistiska kompositörerna. Maxfield komponerade även en Pastoral Symfoni för elektroniska ljud. Som i en regnskog. Maxfield var en av de ansvariga bakom de så kallade Downtown Concerts i Yoko Onos vindsvåning under 60-talet i New York. Maxfield föddes i Seattle 1927 och studerade piano och klarinett som barn. Redan i high school skrev han sin första symfoni! Maxfield sa själv att han kunde läsa noter innan han kunde läsa bokstäver. Han valde en gedigen musikalisk utbildning, bl a vid University of California i Berkeley. Där erhöll han Hertz-priset vilket 1952 möjliggjorde en resa till Europa där han bl a träffade tonsättarna Pierre Boulez, Karl-Heinz Stockhausen och Luigi Nono. Det är förmodligen där Richard Maxfield första gången hör elektronmusik. Tillbaka i USA studerade Maxfield för tonsättarna Aaron Copland och Milton Babbit innan han återvände till Europa för studier för Luigi Dallapiccola and Bruno Maderna i Italien 42 år gammal, hög som ett hus, hoppar Richard Maxfield ut genom ett fönster och avlider av sina skador. Drygt ett år innan Jimi Hendrix och Janis Joplin dör. Två år innan Jim Morrison dör i Paris. Alla till följd av drogmissbruk   Vi möter även den då 75-åriga amerikanska, öppet lesbiska accordionisten, tonsättaren och pionjären Pauline Oliveros, som, när det begav sig, spelade med Partch och Maxfield i musikmiljöerna i San Francisco och i New York. Medverkar i programmet gör även svenske kompositören, musikern och improvisatören Sten Sandell.

G.I. Joe gets their dreams invaded by Cobra in this really trippy, excellent episode and I'm joined by Grammy Award winner T.J. Troy to talk about it! We discuss G.I. Joe, The Centurions, his band Partch, and his comic book/music synthesis project, Run Downhill! It's a must listen to episode of Joe on Joe! The Filecard Feature is on the Slaughter Renegade... Mercer!

I got to meet composer Charles Corey when I visited the Harry Partch Institute at the University of Washington in October of 2016. In this episode, Charles gives us a tour of the Partch Institute at UW. Chatting with Charles was also a great opportunity to get his very unique perspective on Partch and how Partch's work has influenced his own.

In this 19-minute episode, we take a look at some of 2015's best stories, reflections and outtakes. We have (in the following order):  Dave Alvin's first songwriting lesson (at 13 years old) from Big Joe Turner Susan Shillinglaw on why John Steinbeck is still so read today Friends of the LA River's Lewis MacAdams on the river's state in the 1980s and how he became involved in restoring it Chelsea Sexton on electric mobility about how the walkman was the precursor to the smartphone (and how consumers would never have asked for the technology if companies didn't invest in innovation) UC Berkeley's Gray Brechin on how mining technology contributed to the development of San Francisco Architectural critic Alan Hess on Palm Springs as a mecca of the emerging recreational economy.  EPIC's Rob DiPerna on his "best place on earth” UCLA's Ehrhard Bahr on why many of Germany's intellectuals chose Los Angeles over New York during World War II  Architect Donald MacDonald on the "bridge aesthetic" of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges Peter Case reflecting on his early days in San Francisco and his thanking Lawrence Ferlinghetti for his contribution to Case's education UC Berkeley's Richard Walker on the development and use of pesticides on citrus trees in the 1870s Thomas Oesterdiekhoff on composer Harry Partch's early influences which led to Partch's very atypical musical journey Photographer Kim Stringfellow on the alternative history of California's water wars as one drives up the picturesque Highway 395.  This is just a taster of the many eye-opening stories and reflections of the Soul of California's guests over the course of 2015.  Enjoy them and feel free to download the complete interviews. Have a good 2016.

Harry Partch - who created musical instruments from scrap and completely dismantled the 12-tone system that Western music is based on - was not your average mid-twentieth century composer wandering around the Golden State.  To discuss Partch's influence, impact and his own instruments, we are pleased to have as the SoC's guest Thomas Oesterdiekhoff, the Director of the Musik Ensemble in Cologne, Germany, whose company produced Partch's Delusion of the Fury in Cologne and at New York's Lincoln Centre for two sold-out performances.  In this 15-minute interview, Oesterdiekhoff sheds light on Partch's atypical upbringing, and his obsession with tone that led to creating his own tonal system. Creating an entire array of instruments using hubcaps, bottles and shell casings, Partch penned a number of brilliantly chaotic noise ensembles that push the boundaries of music that has been termed “unclassifiable”. Oesterdiekhoff describes how he and his team meticulously rebuilt a new set of instruments and how a trained musician threw out all of his/her knowledge to relearn Partch's system. With 52 players and instruments on stage, half of which are moving around, no conductor, and a cast dressed up as hobos, Delusion of the Fury is one rare blend of music and theatre and demonstrates the genius that welds them together in ways unimaginable.  www.musikfabrik.eu

who prefers to be called, Eugene David. Marvin Hiemstra is most well-known in connection with the local Literary Magazine, Bay Area Poets Seasonal Review. He is also a poet who has been nominated for a Pulitzer prize in poetry. If you would like to contact him about his magazine or purchasing any of his works contact him at: drollmarv@aol.com . David Eugene Partch is a prolific poet of the Bay Area who has many chapbooks out. His chapbooks are available through his web site, and can be mail ordered from him personally through the address listed there. His web site is: http://www.thesighting.com . Both poets will go into more detail about themselves when they read. I, as usual, will read 3 of my poems from my book , “Spirits of Bondage and Inherent Transcendence”. Please, also, if you can, buy the author’s books. The picture above is of Marvin Hiemstra. I am shortly going to be experimenting with having video poetry podcasts. I will still have audio ones, but am trying to figure out a way to also have video poetry readings, so stay tuned. Let me add a note. I accidentally loaded the poetry to the internet without me, the first time, so this version has me, John Rhodes in it. Sorry about that.
