Stuart's guest this week is musician Paddy Steer who shares his love for the eccentric composer and instrument inventor Harry Partch.

Partch pioneered a new approach to harmony based around the frequencies of the human voice and created new versions of existing instruments to aid his compositions.

Spending many years of his life living on the streets, Harry's approach to the world was anti-establishment which is heavily reflected in his work and Paddy brings a selection of his favourite Partch tracks to play.
