The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, and was one of the first 20th-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales, alongside Lou Harrison.
- He built his own instruments in these tunings on which to play his compositions, and described the method behind his theory and practice in his book Genesis of a Music.
- Partch composed with scales dividing the octave into 43 unequal tones derived from the natural harmonic series, these scales allowed for more tones of smaller intervals than in standard Western tuning, which uses twelve equal intervals to the octave.
