HARRY BERTOIA - SONAMBIENT : CONTINUUM / NEAR AND FAR (F/W 1029)

Very rare private pressing released in 1979. Bought by me as new. Barely played. Still in shrink!

The border between "experimental" and "modern composition" is often blurred,
and Bertoia seems to fall on both sides.

Bertoia created these sculptures of different shapes, length and thickness
in order to achieve a range of gentle and sharp sounds.
He experimented as a way to seek harmonic balance with the metal, resulting in pure, unique tones.

When touched, struck or brushed,
these sculptures became abstractions of sound as they sway and knock against one another.
The sounds are organic and mysterious, as tones resonate and flow into each other.

Cover : Ex Some light warp and corner bend caused by shrink-wrap itself.

Vinyl : Ex- Light warp on the edge, plays OK on my turntable with needle weight 2.5 g.

Grading is basically by visual inspection, but being a long-time record collector, I've gotten pretty good at it.
I will mention honestly if I play graded, which I do if it seems necessary.

Shipping & Handling : Europe, UK & USA airmail postage is US$15. If you need registration on parcel, add $5.

Of course discounts are available on multiple purchases.
Sorry, I can not be held responsible for items damaged or lost in the post. Sometimes parcel is delayed in mail delivery
(especially Italy and France), So I recommend you registered air or EMS shipping.

I accept PAYPAL ONLY. PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS of auction's end.

Genuine bidders only! Thanks and good luck!
