Harry Partch

Harry Partch

June 24, 1901 - September 3, 1974
An experimental composer from America who actually made his own instruments to be played with his compositions; works of art within themselves?
Play some of his instruments or listen to how they were played at: http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/features/feature_partch.html
Try some of these for starters:-
HARMONIC CANON 1 :
GOURD TREE WITH CONE GONGS:
CRYCHORD:

Year 11 Student's Photographic Recording of Surfaces


Groovy 'surface' photography by a Year 11 student!!!!

































































This student has specifically looked at surfaces on modern rock instruments.









Think about the surface tension on a drum skin or the tuned flexibility of a guitar string?












If considering the Year 11 Project:SURFACE, why not have a piece that makes sounds with the materials it is made from?
