À mystery #vinyl for the #ambient #DIY #experimentalMusic fans out there @vinylrecords

Hand numbered 25/25, vague signatures on the inner label. #nowPlaying #mystery - boost to find the answer.

@icastico @vinylrecords
Hmm.. is there anything etched on the vinyl? Those are Harry Partch-type instruments, and I read the label as saying something like "for music" and "harry partch" (though it's mostly indecipherable).

There's a Harry Partch Institute at the University of Washington that has several of his instruments, and you are located in Seattle, yes? And the figure in the picture is looking out on a verdant green landscape with an overcast sky. Maybe a private pressing from UW?

@benthos @vinylrecords

Ooh. Good clues. Very Harry Partchesque music too.

No etchings. Just the gold marker on the shiny vinyl.

@icastico @vinylrecords

They have a Harry Partch Ensemble at the UW School of Music. This could've been something they released for a concert, or maybe a one-off from students of the program?

@benthos @vinylrecords

It is a good working theory. I would bet a performance master’s or some such. Here are better pictures of the disc - and side A may say “For music” and “Harry Partch” - side B is tougher.

#seattle #UW #HarryPartch - anyone local have ideas.

@icastico @vinylrecords

That is difficult to make out.. maybe "by g.h." at the top? or "by g.b."? Seems to be someone's initials. Maybe someone from the Partch ensemble?

@benthos @vinylrecords

They look like they maybe a foreign script to me. Maybe Arabic.

@icastico @vinylrecords
Have you checked for clues on the back of the photo on the cover?

@benthos @vinylrecords

The proprietor of Neptune Records where I purchased it did and found nothing. Otherwise I would have.
