sonambient

To clarify, his sister Celia wants to find a public home for the Sonambient collection. The barn can handle 20 people, maybe, and parking is poor. To bring the collection to an American museum is what Harry wished for and stated numerous times. Wouldn't it be great for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to experience Sonambient?

Fascinating soundscapes! I really would enjoy walking and playing around there.

there used to be a huge version of these in downtown Denver, when the building it stood in front of was removed, it too disappeared. it was at least 15 feet tall and the chime was like huge church bells chiming in the wind. it was fun to >>CLANG

[@par3rg0n]

thank you for this wonderful video I recently visited the harry bertoia exhibition and found his works amazing and full of poetry

[@rubenskiii]

Wonderful!

[@donaldolofsson]

Oh how I love those sound sculptures! Thanks for posting

[@lestabertoia8846]

Val and Celia reached a settlement, and Val continues to give Sonambient concerts in the barn near Bally, PA, March to November. Look up Bertoia Studio online.

"Screw my neighbors! They think they can play those big, olde boogie-woogie records?! I'll show them! I'll call this....Death Metal!"

[@dieterroberts8160]

Was in this barn recently, and Val played it just like in the video, with the same expression of delight.Sadly, his sister Celia is suing him with intent of selling off the sculptures from this holy temple of sound.

Well that sucks ! What's in it for her, besides maybe.... ...spitefulness ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@emitch9213]

Anyone will think of another idea for a law suit...insanity.

I have Sonambient on LP. ID # LPS10570. Only played it a couple times before getting it ripped to CD. Great ambient stuff.

[@HoboSex]

This is very interesting, percussive drone. I think Harry Bertoia and Robert Henke need to collaborate!

[@shiningarmor2838]

I wish I could play these

[@harrybertoia]

We are looking for a museum home for the majority of these sculptures so that the public has easy access.

[@JagrrrTV]

I'm looking for the LP. A friend found one totally random for quarter cuz some else we knew didn't like it.

[@isrealking5383]

i wonder what the kids on sesame street would do if they were allowed to play in there :) on the other hand if their were'nt any kids involved to make it friendly this could be the start of a great horror movie, lol

[@Dannyisgreatful]

That room is a 16th century garage band :)

[@smacktard69]

beautiful!

[@MrVinylment]

Amazing installation

[@mclearyb]

these are spacey..... one vinyl LP was a hit in Japan.....reminds me a bit of Mickey Hart I think he may have used sculptures in his planet drum / drums-space sound with the Dead

[@McmFxCx]

GENIUS!

[@memorythree]

amazing.

[@GillesMalatrayDesartsonnants]

Intéressant.

[@IronOakSawmill]

Is the museum still in Bally PA? Harry's designs for Knoll are beautiful as well.

[@dieterroberts8160]

Yes. And there is a 14 foot gong outside, the largest in North America.

[@LsbTv]
