Harry Bertoia - Unfolding



Harry Bertoia (1915 - 1978) was a furniture and jewellery designer who went on to explore sculpture, and its sound-making possibilities. In the 70's, he released a series of LPs under the title Sonambient, now rare collectors items. This compilation of four pieces culled from the albums was released in Japan in 1993. There are three official websites devoted to his work: Harry Bertoia Research Project, bertoiaharry.com, and Bertoia Studio.

Presented in two .zip archives, download both for the full compliment of tracks.
