Answer

San Francisco's libraries were where Harry Partch devoted himself to music based on scales tuned in just intonation. He created instruments based on the intervals of the just scale, which he believed were more harmonious and expressive than the intervals of the equal tempered scale. He also wrote music for these instruments, which he performed in concerts and lectures.
