Play Henry Partch's instruments--online
Wednesday, December 15, 2004
American composer Henry Partch created his own instruments tuned to scales based on just intonation. Many of the instruments, which Partch used extensively in creating his music, have fascinating and beautiful sounds.

Now you can play several of Partch's instruments online on American Public Radio's "Music Mavericks" site.

Music Mavericks has several other fascinating interactive features, including a "virtual rhythmicon" designed by Henry Cowell and made by Leon Theremin, and experiments with Charles Ives's ideas about spatial music.
