The long-awaited new Partch Ensemble album is out! In Harry Partch's words, The Wayward is “a collection of musical compositions based on the spoken and written words of hobos and other characters—the result of my wanderings in the Western part of the United States from 1935 to 1941.”
"U.S. Highball" is a favorite of mine. It's such a marathon of a composition that goes wide and far. "Barstow" is also a Partch classic that we've done for many years. I'm on surrogate kithara and make a few vocal cameos on both of these pieces. More info about the release here.
