John Schneider won a 2015 Grammy for his album performing music composed by the midcentury genius Harry Partch, an American pioneer of microtonal music. Why has Schneider, a music theory professor and radio host, devoted his entire adult life to reproducing the strange instruments and music of a man he never met? We dive in deep to learn about Partch and microtonal music, and to see John performing it on his couch and onstage.
