高瞻遠(yuǎn)足的作曲家、音樂理論家暨樂器發(fā)明家哈里．帕殊 (1901-1974) 成長于美國加洲，深受中國搖籃曲及粵劇影響的他父母為來華美國傳教士 (他甚至宣稱母親是在中國懷上他的)。
帕殊反傳統(tǒng)的樂器只有三套完整的還存于世。最近，香港首次模仿重造這些發(fā)明，有些是依照原來的藍(lán)本來改造，有些則是改裝過的中國樂器。
來感受一下嶄新的音樂發(fā)明如何重新定義21世紀(jì)音樂！

Harry Partch grew up in Tombstone, AZ, and was taught by his family to play the clarinet, harmonica, reed organ, guitar. A self-taught composer, he rode the rails during the early Depression years. Partch was an original theorist on tuning systems, wrote the extraordinary book Genesis of a Music (1949), and an instrument designer and builder from 1938 onwards. His operas, in micro-tonal tunings played on his self-made instruments, were often designed for performers who would take multiple roles, eg. singer-instrumentalist-dancer. His songs were often open as to vocal pitch, pre-cursors of the New Narrative Opera. He wrote several innovative filmscores, and a number of collections came out in the late '90s: four volumes on CRI label, and 3-CD set Enclosure Five on Innova.
