What is Harry Partch and Microtonal Innovation about?

Harry Partch was an American composer known for his pioneering work in microtonal music and unique self-built instruments. He became frustrated with standard tuning systems and built instruments tuned to his own microtonal scales with up to 43 tones per octave. Partch lived as a hobo for years, composing works based on overheard speech and railroad experiences. His compositions incorporated his custom-built instruments and explored just intonation tunings based on the harmonic series.
