More quotes by Harry Partch
Originality cannot be a goal. It is simply inevitable. The truly pathbreaking step can never be predicted, and certainly not by the person who makes it at the time he makes it. He clears as he goes, evolves his own techniques, devises his own tools, ignores where he must. And his path cannot be retraced, because each of us is an original being.
Harry Partch
Having decided to follow my own intuitive path I began to write music on the basis of harmonized spoken words, for new instruments and in new scales.
