There is also a video called, get this: Enclosure 1. Four historic art films by Madeline Tourtelot with music by Harry Partch. includes: Rotate the Body in All It's Planes (1961, 9:00) Music Studio - Harry Partch (1958, 17:48) U.S. Highball (1958, completed 1968, 24:18) Windsong (1958, 17:38) and a 12 page booklet with Harry Partch's own introductions. I like Music Studio the best. Harry demo's the instruments. Rotate is bizarre with a gymnastics display. There's also a book called Enclosure 3. I haven't seen that yet. >New Partch CDs are not all bitter music, though--Ted Mook and Stephen Kalm >released an excellent CD of "Li Po" this year!
