Although other composers also constructed their own instruments to serve their theoretical ideas (Smetak, Carillio), Partch followed a strongly systematic tonal system for the tuning of his instruments.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As an exemplary instance of the completely \u201cfree\u201d composer, responsible only to himself, Partch\u2019s influence remains strong down to the present day. His theory of music is consistent in itself, and it leaves behind the superficial concept of music as virtuosity \u2013 which was a hangover from the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century \u2013 and instead shifts the focus back to the ear and its subtle perception of different degrees of consonance. This fact is something that is highly topical in today\u2019s postmodern world.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although Partch is well known to the other side of the Atlantic, there is a lack of information about his music in Europe. Partch traveled a lot through his whole lifetime, and got the theoretical and artistic inspiration and influences for his works, system and instruments form the European culture, nevertheless he didn\u2019t leave an input in the contemporary European music. Only since 2013 has there been an almost complete set of copies of his instruments available. The Ensemble Musikfabrik in Cologne made replicas of all of Partch\u2019s instruments in 2013-14, which are &#8211; as well &#8211; the one replicas available in Europe and this fact can be used by this research project to take an instrumental, practical perspective in the investigation of Partch\u2019s music, his music theory and his concept\u2019s potential for today\u2019s music.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The information on this webpage is kindly provided \u2013 in its bigger part \u2013 by partners of the project, like Ensemble Musikfabrik Cologne, the replicas maker\/ percussionist Thomas Meixner, the guitarist\/ Harry Partch specialist John Schneider, the director of Harry Partch\u2019s instrumentarium (original instruments)\/ Harry Partch Ensemble in Seattle, California Charles Corey, composers that composed for the remade &#8211; Harry Partch instruments, researches, music theorists etc, who I all want to thank for their contribution and ooperation.
