Henry Eichheim, besides being a violinist, conductor, and ethnomusicologist who collected hundreds of exotic musical instruments, was also composing with East Asian techniques at this time.
When Henry Cowell inaugurated his epochal series of New Music Society concerts in 1925, Henry Eichheim was on the organization's Resident Cooperating Committee (along with Arthur Bliss and Dane Rudhyar).
Cowell's Ensemble (1924) had its own striking use of exotic percussion: The piece is scored for string quintet and three thundersticks, a Native American instrument similar to a bullroarer, which is whirled overhead on a string to produce its distinctive sound.

 The Rebirth of Hindu Music by Dane Rudhyar - Foreword to the Second Edition
The book was never adequately distributed in America; for at the time only a very few people had any interest at all in oriental music, which most musicians considered 'primitive' and not worth studying.
The tide began to turn when the composer Henry Eichheim traveled to Japan, Java and Bali, and on his return interested Leopold Stowkowski, who accompanied him on a trip to these countries — but not to India.
My first contact with Hindu music had been in Paris, early in 1914, when I met a young French composer, Delage, who had traveled to India and written a few lovely songs based on his remembrances of the vocal and instrumental music that had fascinated him.

True, Oja of logical necessity groups her chapters by topical themes: “Spirituality and American Dissonance” brings together studies of Dane Rudhyar, Carl Ruggles, Henry Cowell, and Ruth Crawford, while “New World Neoclassicism” does the same for Copland, Virgil Thomson, and a representative quartet of Roger Sessions, Walter Piston, Harris, and Carlos Chávez.
Elsewhere, well-chosen and extremely pertinent quotations from Langston Hughes, Gertrude Stein, Frank Zappa, Paul Rosenfeld, Alexis de Tocqueville, E. Forster, and F. Scott Fitzgerald complement and counterpoint the topics under consideration.
Ruth Crawford, for instance, arrived in the city in 1929, and before 1930 had received only two performances there (the same number as Henry Eichheim and Carl Engel).
