I hitched from CA to Austin Texas once, cannot remember if I went through Barstow or just saw the name on a highway sign in passing. Quite a trip with several mini adventures but didn't see any graffiti like these messages.

WHY IN HELL DID YOU COME, ANYWAY?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm
WR:

A year or so later when I first heard Partch's Barstow, it resonated strongly.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:26pm
Webhamster Henry:

Barstow is one of Partch's more crowd pleasing tunes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm
david w:

It's charming, but Petaluma is pretty delicious (in spite of the weird edits that he and probably Danlee Mitchell used to cobble all these takes together).

I didn't know until a few years ago that he had worked on a few different compositions that are theatrical in nature.

Theater was integral to his work.

You know the American Festival of Microtonal Music's Chromelodeon for their Partch pieces was a DX7 or Emu Proteus that I tuned.The DX is abut 10 feet from here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm
david w:

I lust for that Chromelodeon sound.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:42pm
Webhamster Henry:

Those implementations weren't super precise, in terms of timbre. I also have leave to make the Chromelodeon app from the Partch Estate. That would be able to do all three sets of reeds and other stuff you can't do with just a tuning table. And it would sound a lot more like a Chromelodeon.

You mentioned about edits. Seems they were done with splicing tape, not studio mixing.

The Zappa alternates 8 and 10 beat cycles, is that 9/4? Not that theory-knowledgeable, wondering.
