But the incorporation of Eastern musical traditions and micro-tonality really distinguished his work -- he employed everything from Indonesian gamelan instruments to tin cans. A friend and admirer of Charles Ives, Harrison was also a noted music scholar and political activist. Toward the end of his life, Harrison lived with longtime partner William Colvig in Joshua Tree, California, in a straw-bale house.
