Other Music was a contemporary music ensemble that performed the compositions of its members on original justly tuned instruments. Founded in 1975 by David B. Doty, Henry S. Rosenthal, and Dale S. Soules, the San Francisco based group created a complex and absorbing music that synthesized elements from a wide variety of historical and world-music sources. Among the group's most evident influences are the gamelans of Java and Bali, the intonational theories of Harry Partch and Lou Harrison, European modal polyphony, and the American experimental traditions. In May of 1980, Other Music recorded its first LP, "Prime Numbers" issued on the Nth Degree label. Also that year, they incorporated under the non-profit laws for the purpose of developing resources and research in the areas of new instrument design and tuning systems; and the support of ensembles dedicated to their use. Flying Fish Records released their second album "Incidents Out of Context" in 1983.
