Harry Partch

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Harry Partch (Oakland, 24 giugno 1901San Diego, 3 settembre 1974) è stato un compositore statunitense.

Quadrangularus Reversum (Harry Partch).

Incoraggiato dalla madre Jennie allo studio della musica, da ragazzo imparò da solo a suonare l'organo positivo, il violino, la cornetta e il mandolino, mentre per la composizione studiò da autodidatta. Fu una delle personalità più individualiste e originali del Novecento.[1] La sua opera occupa un posto particolare nell'evoluzione della musica contemporanea, in particolare è molto rilevante per l'evoluzione della produzione timbrica del suono la sua attività di inventore e adattatore di strumenti musicali, creati utilizzando anche materie naturali o modificando strumenti preesistenti.[1] È inoltre considerato un importante precursore degli happening musicali.[2] Ha esercitato una notevole influenza anche in ambito rock, come testimoniano gli attestati di stima di artisti quali Tom Waits e Frank Zappa.[3]
