Hello all --

Just came across this quote attributed to Harry Partch --

"Originality cannot be a goal. It is simply inevitable. The truly
path-breaking step can never be predicted, and certainly not by the person
who makes it at the time he makes it. He clears as he goes, evolves his own
techniques, devises his own tools, ignores where he must. And his path
cannot be retraced, because each of us is an original being."
