Lo and behold, Partch’s Delusions of Fury (just review by C.C.) is on YouTube!

This footage apparently comes from an 1968 San Diego TV station’s broadcast of a filmed version of the work, in which Partch was involved. The staging is fitfully more serious, if dated. Oddly enough, the music sounds stranger in the videos that it did live, most likely due to the rudimentary recording technology of the time. There are also some beautiful shots of the instruments, so check it.

Here’s a link to all the Delusions of the Fury videos.
