A heavy duty box, printed with metallic inks, holds the 11 discs as well as a 100 page book containing a lengthy historic essay, Smithsonian interview with Harry Bertoia, exclusive Sonambient era material from the Bertoia archive, modern and archival photos of the Bertoia barn as well as reflections on Bertoia from David Sefton, Tom Welsh, David Harrington (Kronos Quartet) and all three of Bertoia's children. The Complete Sonambient Collection celebrates 100 years of Harry Bertoia in 2015, the centennial of his birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1950s Harry Bertoia (1915-1978), already a renowned American sculptor, began creating long-form, improvised pieces of music utilizing pure acoustic tones evoked from his sound sculptures. Around this time Bertoia came up with the term \"Sonambient\" to describe the music and environment created by his tonal sculptures and their lush harmonic overtones. In a renovated barn on his property deep in the Pennsylvania woods Harry curated a harmonious selection of his sculptures and gongs, often recording his frequent, intuitive sound experiments using fout overhead microphones and a 1\/4\" tape recorder. Bertoia dedicated the last twenty years of his life to his Sonambient work and in 1970 he released the first Sonambient LP. In 1978, in the final months of his life, he selected recordings from his archive and produced ten more Sonambient records. He would not live long enough to see or hear these records himself. Bertoia died in 1978, at age 63, and was buried beneath a giant gong behind his Sonabmient barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBertoia's recordings are as much a celebration of sustained tones, slow decay, healing vibrations and shimmering harmonics as Indian Classical music, singing bowls, The Well Tuned Piano or Benjamin Franklin's glass armonica. Through these rich harmonics, pulsing tones and pure gongs Bertoia was able to more clearly articulate his inner spirit than he could with sculpture alone – a point he made himself many times in interview. Harry's single greatest piece of art is the totality of his life which is nearly impossible to measure but easy to feel. It's our hope that somehow this box set evokes some of the same sacred, personal feeling that one has in Bertoia's barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour purchase directly supports the preservation of Harry Bertoia's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSonambient\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e archive. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zS-YQ0-Rmmk\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jAFsSyJkDWU\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/224957747\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResources: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.harrybertoia.org\/\"\u003eBertoia Foundation\u003c\/a\u003e          \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.arietobertoia.org\/\"\u003eBertoia Italy\u003c\/a\u003e          \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bertoiasounds.com\/\"\u003eBertoia Studios\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2016\/03\/26\/468881945\/sound-sculptor-harry-bertoia-created-musical-meditative-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNPR\u003c\/a\u003e feature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/style-blog\/wp\/2015\/03\/27\/sculptures-you-can-hear-why-harry-bertoias-sonambient-art-still-resonates\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWashington Post feature article\u003c\/a\u003e by Marc Masters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.factmag.com\/2016\/02\/21\/harry-bertoia-sounding-sculptures-sonambient-important-records\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSonambient interview\u003c\/a\u003e ~ Fact Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is the real deal, pure art in all manifestations, and it's possibly the quintessential collection of ambient music ever made.\" ~ \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.factmag.com\/2016\/02\/24\/february-reissues-susumu-yokota-harry-bertoia\/11\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFact Magazine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'When I know a man's sound, that's this man,' stated John Coltrane in a 1966 interview.

I believe that the former are just as effective as the latter, in the sense that the sonic presentation (distortion, filtering, wave shaping, etc.) are just as expressive as a chord change or chord type, and often reinforce said chord progressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Of all the years with Nine Inch Nails the period spent writing and recording the instrumental record Ghosts I-IV is probably the one which changed my approach to music making the most.

'A lot of the best new music can't be captured in sound bites -- you have to listen for a long time. Of no one is that truer than Eliane Radigue, who lives in France, but whose unarticulated time sense brings her closer to La Monte Young in sensibility than to anyone in Europe.

Since 1967, she had been using the feedback as a material; feedback from two tape recorders reworked through intensive studio techniques: slowing down, alteration, superimposition, montage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In 1970, the last year she dedicated to feedback, several milestone pieces saw the light of day: Omnht, a wonderful sound installation for three out-of-phase tape loops and wall-mounted loudspeakers; the theoretical setting of Labyrinthe Sonore (eventually premiered at Mills College in 1998 in collaboration with Pauline Oliveros, Maggie Payne and William Winant, among others); Opus 17, one of her first compositions in fixed duration (according to Rhys Chatham, a decisive piece that would change his own compositional career); and Vice-Versa, etc…, which appears to be her very last feedback loop composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vice-Versa, etc… was conceived as a sound installation setting similar to S=a=b=a+b. A single magnetic tape can be played at any speed, a stereo tape of which allows three playings: left channel alone, right channel alone, left and right channels together. These different channels can be overlapped\/crossed over as much as possible, at any speed. Thus the piece reveals itself in its whole dimension, its infinite grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In its content, the piece is the most minimal that Eliane Radigue has ever composed. Feedback is horizontally sustained, time is suspended, vibrating with organic and subtle pulsations. The fastest playthrough, in just 2:42, weaves a graceful continuum of uncanny depth, somewhere between the sonority of feedback and a glass harmonica. Played slowly, at 13:41, it takes us into an universe of low frequency vibrations felt as much by the guts, the ribcage and the whole body as by the eardrum: the signature sound of Eliane Radigue. Between these two extremes, many delicate shadings\/variations appear simply through speed modulation. What is striking about this work, which may arguably be one of Radigue's most important compositions, is the extraordinary quality of the tones obtained from such a rudimentary material. It is hard to believe that the composer was yet to begin working on her ARP, since the sonorities heard on Vice-Versa, etc… are surprisingly similar to those she would go on to produce with her synthesizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vice-Versa, etc… is a minimal work which possesses an infinity of possible variations, a secret object containing the seeds of the oeuvre to come, and a discreet turning point linking the composer's two important working phases, an extremely subtle cross-fade between her feedback loop period to her ARP period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Originally, only ten signed and numbered copies of this little boxset containing a magnetic tape and a handwritten note were released - needless to say this is a work that has been nearly forgotten! We have decided to reissue this object as a double CD, with the tape played respectively forwards and backwards, at four different speeds, corresponding to the standards of the tape recorders of the time. This will allow dedicated listeners to experiment with simultaneous playback of the work's different versions, recreating the conditions of the original installation. For lazier listeners, a simple play through provides complete satisfaction, a listening experience that loses itself in the ineffable and discreet beauty of these four variations.\" ~ Manu Holterbach (translated by Maxime Guitton)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc One:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Her instrument was tuned in Just Intonation and she often included it in her meditative improvisational music. Her music is not meditative in the sense that it is intended for listening to while meditating, rather each piece is a form of meditation, such as her aptly titled Sonic Meditations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA central figure in post-war electronic art music, Oliveros is one of the original members of the San Francisco Tape Music Center (along with Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender, Terry Riley, and Anthony Martin), which was the resource on the U.S. West coast for electronic music during the 1960s. The Center later moved to Mills College, where she was its first director, and is now called the Center for Contemporary Music. Oliveros often improvises with the Expanded Instrument System, an electronic signal processing system she designed, in her performances and recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Accordion \u0026amp; Voice was the first of my recordings as a soloist. I was living in an A-frame house in a meadow just below Mount Tremper at Zen Mountain Center. I had a wonderful view of the graceful saddle mountain top. When away on a performance trip I would imagine the mountain as I played Rattlesnake Mountain. I followed the feelings and sensations of my many experiences of the mountain - the changing colors of the season, the breezes and winds blowing through the grasses and trees. Horse Sings From Cloud taught me to listen to the depth of a tone and to have patience. Rather than initiating musical impulses of motion, melody and harmony I wanted to hear the subtlety of a tone taking space and time to develop. The tones linger and resonate in the body, mind, instrument and performance space. My thanks to Important Records for bringing these pieces to be heard again.” ~ Pauline Oliveros, 2007\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.    Horse Sings From Cloud\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.    Rattlesnake Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A quixotic body of work that seems to hover - like that of John Cage, to whom she is often compared - somewhere in the interstices among composition, philosophy, religion and self-help.” ~ San Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Her solo accordion work 'Rattlesnake Mountain' was a simple, haunting melody over a pulsating drone.

Part I, Song, is intended to explore the unique resonant qualities of accordion reeds through long sounds. Subtle variations come about from differences in tuning and air pressure.

This recording documents The Wanderer's world premiere, as it was performed 27 January, 1983 at Marymount Manhattan Theatre.

Like most of her Sonic Meditations, it can be performed vocally and\/or instrumentally, solo or in collaboration. A solo version of Horse Sings From Cloud has been recorded on Accordion \u0026amp; Voice. An early version of the score reads, “Sustain a tone or sound until any desire to change it disappears. When there is no longer any desire to change the tone or sound, then change it.” This time, Horse Sings From Cloud is performed in ensemble. Joining Pauline Oliveros on bandoneon are Heloise Gold on Harmonium, Julia Haines on accordion, and Linda Montano on concertina. This quartet version incorporates the microtonal differences in tuning of the selected instruments, creating shimmering reed sounds somewhat similar to the shimmering of a Balinese gamelan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is the first time The Wanderer has been made available on CD, having been out of print for over 20 years.

It is the first object in history designed to be viewed with closed eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dreamachine simply consists of a cylinder with holes cut into the sides which is placed on a turntable. A lightbulb is suspended in the center of the spinning cylinder. The light passes through the holes as it rotates at a constant frequency, situated between 8 and 13 pulses per second. This frequency range corresponds to the 'alpha waves', electrical oscillations naturally present in human brain when the eyes are closed and no stimuli are processed, e.g., when there's a relaxed and effortless alertness, and while meditating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dreamachine is viewed with the eyes closed: the flickering light stimulates the optic nerve and alters the brain's electrical oscillations, producing vivid visions of very bright moving and morphing colors in geometrical patterns which appear \"projected\" behind the eyelids, covering the field of vision completely. A prolonged session in front of a Dreamachine (time may vary among subjects) can push the experience further, altering the perception of time and space and provoking a dream-like state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe user should sit comfortably in front of the Dreamachine, with the eyes approximately at center (half height) of the cylinder and quite close (5 cm), but is good to try and find what is best. Music can be played, even if it has been noted that music with words tends to \"distract\" and interfere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo interrupt the experience, simply open the eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease be aware that the Dreamachine can be dangerous for persons suffering from epilepsy or other nervous disorders.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visions hollowed out of the Dreamachine usually start off with a rapid, and quickening, succession of abstract patterns. Often this transit of speeding images is followed by a clear perception of human faces. Humanoid figures and the apparent enactment of highly colored events, or, as Gysin described them, 'pseudo events', carried out in time and space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcerpt from \u003cem\u003eFlicker\u003c\/em\u003e, by Ian Sommerville.\u003cbr\u003ePublished in Olympia no.2 (Paris, 1962).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...Our ancestors saw the creatures of the constellations in the apparently unorganised distribution of the stars. It has been shown experimentally through the viewing of random white dots on a screen that man tends to find patterns and picture where objectively there is none: his mental process shapes what it sees. Externals resonators, such as flicker, tune in with our internal rhythms and lead to their extension.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Dream Machine began as a simple means to investigate phenomena whose description excited our imaginations - our faculty of image-making which flicker was said to stimulate. Maximum effect is achieved with a light of at least 100 watts when flicker plays over closed lids bright as close as possible to the cylinder revolving at 78 rpm. This may not produce everybody's exact alpha rhytm but the effects can be astonishing. They continue to develop over a long period of time.

These may not be your first glimpse of these dazzling lights and celestial coloured images. Dreamachines provide them only just as long as you choose to look into them. What you are seeing is perhaps a broader vision than you may have had before of your own incalculable treasure, the \"Jungian\" sort of symbols which we share with all normally constituted humanity. From this storehouse, artists and artisans have drawn the elements of art down the ages. In the rapid flux of images, you will immediately recognise crosses, stars, haloes... woven patterns like pre-Columbian textiles and Islamic rugs... repetitive patterns on ceramic tile... in embroideries of all times... rapidly fluctuating serial images of abstract art... what look like endless expanses of fresh paint laid on a palette knife.  ~ \u003c\/em\u003eBrion Gysin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"Classic","offer_id":41273645236298,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olympia","offer_id":42056818524234,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No. 9","offer_id":22006826756,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/files\/unnamed.gif?v=1773069619"},{"product_id":"circle-four-100-gongs-for-arieto","title":"Circle Four: 100 Gongs for Arieto - Screen Print 24\" Square","description":"\u003cp\u003eTitled, signed, numbered edition of 50. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements: 24\" x 24\" \u003cbr\u003eGold metallic ink screen printed on white stock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(black is sold out)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 Gongs For Arieto was created in conjunction with the Eleh piece of the same name, taken from the Tara Jane O'Neil\/Eleh split LP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22008482692,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/files\/3.jpg?v=1765393374"},{"product_id":"harry-bertoia-clear-sounds-perfetta","title":"Harry Bertoia - Clear Sounds\/Perfetta - LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"imprec-left-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eYour purchase directly supports the preservation of Harry Bertoia's Sonambient archive.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"imprec-left-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter nearly 40 years of silence, Harry Bertoia's Sonambient label has been resurrected in order to release the best of Bertoia's unheard recordings from his recently preserved archive of 1\/4\" tapes. \"Clear Sounds\" b\/w \"Perfetta\" (F\/W 1033) was cut straight from the original reels and is a true analog pressing (AAA).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"imprec-left-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two pieces were selected for their minimal, meditative and lush harmonic qualities; lacking in the abundance of dynamics and contrasts found on the original Sonambient records, these pieces show another approach to performance. Slow washes of shimmering metallic sculpture rustle thickly like the leaves of a white birch or tall grass in the summer sun. Gorgeous harmonics hover overhead, making audible measurements of the length and purity of Bertoia's metal rod sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Harry Bertoia and his brother Oreste composed extensively in the Sonambient Barn deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania where Harry kept over 100 Sonambient sculptures and gongs. The first Sonambient LP, released in 1970, contains a Harry Bertoia composition on side A and an Oreste Bertoia composition on side B. As an homage to the original Sonambient LP, Clear Sounds is a Harry Bertoia piece from June 30, 1973 and Perfetta is an Oreste Bertoia piece from June 28, 1971.\u003cbr\u003eBackground:\u003cbr\u003eHarry Bertoia first came into artistic prominence in the late 1930s and his sculptural, ergonomic chairs, produced by Knoll Furniture beginning in 1952, were soon modernist furniture classics. Inspired by the resonant sounds emanating from metals as he worked them and encouraged by his brother Oreste, whose passion was music, Harry restored a fieldstone \"Pennsylvania Dutch\" barn as the home for this experiment in sounding sculptures which he had begun in the 1950s. Bertoia was an obsessive composer and relentless experimenter, often working late into the night and accumulating hundreds of tapes of his best performances; Oreste, too, would explore and record the sculptures' sounds during his annual visits to his brother's home in rural Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarry Bertoia's recently dismantled Sonambient barn collection was an attentive listener's paradise full of warm, expressive instruments that were gorgeous visually and audibly. Nothing could prepare you, even on return visits, for the overwhelming experience of entering the spacious wood and plaster interior where gongs, some of them giant, hung among the ranks of standing sculptures of various metals. Over nearly twenty years, adding, culling and rearranging, Bertoia carefully selected nearly 100 harmonious pieces ranging in height from under a foot to more than fifteen feet. He considered this barn a full experience, sights and sounds comprising not a collection of works, but one piece unto itself. It was here, deep in the woods, that his Sonambient recording work took place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearning by experimentation was common for Bertoia and he mastered the art of tape recording, turning the Sonambient barn into a sound studio with four overhead microphones hanging from the rafters in a square formation. He would experiment with overdubbing by performing along to previous recordings, sometimes backwards, constantly improving his methods while also honing his performance skills. Bertoia was a careful editor of his own work and only chosen recordings remained, each with a date and carefully considered observations written on a note included with each tape. Through these pieces of paper a greater logic can be uncovered, a careful approach to composition, ideas, feelings and forms. The story of Sonambient barn collection will slowly be told through the release of recordings from the archive as well as installations and performances built from Bertoia's own recordings, lectures and a book. www.Sonambient.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding: 0; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA.

Note against note, gate against gate, she develops an illusory counterpoint style influenced by her passion for baroque lute music, where fast arpeggios are employed to get effects of sustained chords and overcome the limits of fast decay timbres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in POC is conceived as a generative entity, a dynamic and living being able to develop its own organic laws, whose inner potential of growth and change is embedded in the initial instructions of the sequencer. These instructions translate into slow yet persistent, relentless variations in pitch and velocity: sharp interval resizing, pristine melodic transpositions, severe shifts in the metric structure of pulses and stresses. At the core of this process is the massive use of the gate, one of the fundamental concepts of voltage-controlled synthesis, here employed as the main creative tool to compose in a subtractive way and develop a negative counterpoint style. In this perspective, composing becomes an act of tuning to an ongoing sound field and making it selective, a subtractive practice rather than a demiurgic act of creation from scratch. The ongoing sound field is the rich sound spectrum offered by the harmonic oscillator - a monolith decomposed into its partials, a complex signal made selective to derive melodic information, a continuous field of electricity \"gated\" and discretized in points of condensed abstraction and emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging machine intelligence, human desire of pattern detection and the understanding of music as a cognitive feedback between humans and technology are primary sources of inspiration for this work. All the compositions share a common fatalistic tension, an impossible running, a restless rush - somewhat nervous somewhat ecstatic - to grasp a meaning out of fragments: in a present of spinning scenarios and volatile qualities where the decoding of complex and chaotic surfaces becomes harder and harder, human desire of pattern detection and recognition is what is left. But the highly formulaic and germinative style of the pieces is also influenced by Indian classical music's vision of sound as an agent of change and recreation: sound causing processes rather than objects, verbs rather than nouns. Patterns are understood as the cells of an organism or the units of a language: a limited set of signs that can be recombined to always generate new possibilities. Thus, this recording is only one of the many possible incarnations of this re-combinatory practice. Can sound synthesize new patterns of consciousness?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn POC, repetition and permutation of patterns are explored as tools to reconfigure perceptions and bend emotions, approaching sound as a medium to develop and master our own perceptual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A pattern creates a certain state of consciousness. Once it is created, the pattern stands as an object exactly like the sound waves which generate it. We are at the same time inside and outside of the object. While being it, we observe it. Over time we become familiar with the inner structure of the pattern. We decode its gravitational centers, where our psycho-motor attention is attracted, where everything seems to be drawn. When a change in the pattern occurs it causes a perturbation of the previously established field of forces. This causes consciousness to fracture, potentially unfolding layers of perceptions we weren't aware of or simply suggesting that we access only a fraction of our psychic potential. The layered nature of consciousness and the relativity of perception are some of the biggest secrets we can experience through sound.\" ~ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaterina Barbieri\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Causes Consciousness To Fracture 14:40 \u003cbr\u003e TCCTF 7:50\u003cbr\u003e Information Needed To Create An Entire Body 6:32 \u003cbr\u003e INTCAEB 9:18 \u003cbr\u003e Scratches On the Readable Surface 5:51 \u003cbr\u003e SOTRS 9:27\u003cbr\u003e Gravity That Binds 15:47 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Patterns of Consciousness finds Caterina Barbieri at her best, elegantly moving between melodically pleasant yet twisted sequences and comforting, reassuring sonic spaces.

An energy field, certain to vanish completely once the musicians put down their instruments. However concrete and real the actions and materials, the sonority they produce is a phantom.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":16208518283338,"sku":"imprec469","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/products\/IMPREC469_digi_PB.jpg?v=1552324951"},{"product_id":"harry-bertoia-experimental-i-mechanical-i-lp","title":"Harry Bertoia - Experimental I \/ Mechanical I - LP\/CD","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"imprec-left-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eYour purchase directly supports the preservation of Harry Bertoia's musical archive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"imprec-left-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis LP is cut straight from the original master tapes maintaining a straight analog signal path.

When the first new LP was released in 2016 we were only in possession of 1\/20th of the archive. Now, in 2019, we're excited to release the first LP of new material from the full archive and we present it to increase understanding of what Bertoia was doing in his sound-barn deep in the Pennsylvania woods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe recordings contained on this LP were selected because of their relationship to Bertoia's body of recorded work. The titles are from from Bertoia's notes which Bertoia placed in each tape box, indicating date and describing briefly. Like his sculptures, Bertoia never titled his recordings but frequently referred to specific concepts he was pursuing. These are among the earliest known examples of Bertoia using terms which would become more common in the years to come: \"experimental,\" \"mechanical\" and \"long sounds.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExperimental I: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery few of Bertoia's early experimental sessions survive on tape: he did not record many and often erased those he taped. Most were not recorded and those that were recorded were often erased. Those that remain, however, offer fascinating insights into how Bertoia likely worked in the barn when the tape machine wasn't running. Although he left behind hundreds of tapes, one can only begin to imagine the amount of unrecorded sessions that took place in Bertoia's barn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExperimental I shows the artist stretching out, in no hurry and avoiding any bombastic explosiveness. We imagine Bertoia looking around the barn much as he is seen on this album's cover; searching for the next sound in his forest of metal wires. Unheard combinations of sculptures, percussion and long strummed sections make this recording unique. This piece has a an effortless, natural flow. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMechanical I: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere appear to be at least 10 tapes from 1969-1975 that Bertoia noted were “Mechanical.”. Bertoia thought of his sculpture as a collaboration with industry since the diameters of his rods were, ultimately, determined by what was available from the factory that manufactured them. In that sense, Bertoia's music could, quite literally, be considered industrial and this piece has the metallic rhythms of a factory pulsing through it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong Sounds I: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(CD only)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBertoia mentions \"long sounds\" often in his notes. It's likely he used this phrase to describe the moments when he would allow a gong or tonal sculpture to reverberate and decay. As a result, passages or entire tapes where this phrase is used tend to be more spacious and reverberant, slower, calmer, grounded. Bertoia rustles up big bursts of sound and then lets them slowly recede, analyzing the results and considering the possibilities of including them in his sonic canvas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBio: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarry Bertoia first gained some artistic visibility in the early 1940s, then came into prominence with his sculptural, ergonomic chairs, produced by Knoll Furniture beginning in 1952, which quickly became classics of modernist furniture. Inspired by the resonant sounds emanating from metals as he worked them and encouraged by his brother Oreste, whose passion was music, Harry restored a fieldstone \"Pennsylvania Dutch\" barn as the home for this experiment in sounding sculptures which he had begun in the late 1950s. Bertoia was an obsessive composer and relentless experimenter, often working late into the night and accumulating hundreds of tapes of his best performances; Oreste, too, would explore and record the sculptures' sounds during his annual visits to his brother's home in rural Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarry Bertoia's recently dismantled Sonambient barn collection was an attentive listener's paradise full of warm, expressive instruments that were gorgeous visually and audibly. Nothing could prepare you, even on return visits, for the overwhelming experience of entering the spacious wood and plaster interior where gongs, some of them giant, hung among the ranks of standing sculptures of various metals. Over nearly twenty years of adding, culling and rearranging, Bertoia carefully selected nearly 100 harmonious pieces ranging in height from under a foot to more than fifteen feet. He considered this barn a full experience, sights and sounds comprising not a collection of works, but one piece unto itself. It was here, deep in the woods, that his Sonambient recording work took place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearning by experimentation was common for Bertoia and he mastered the art of tape recording, turning the Sonambient barn into a sound studio with four overhead microphones hanging from the rafters in a square formation. He would experiment with overdubbing by performing along to previous recordings, sometimes backwards, constantly improving his methods while also honing his performance skills. Bertoia was a careful editor of his own work and only chosen recordings remained, each with a date and carefully considered observations written on a note included with each tape. Through these pieces of paper a the artist's logic can be uncovered, a careful approach to composition, ideas, feelings and forms. The story of Sonambient barn collection will slowly be told through the release of recordings from the archive as well as installations and performances built from Bertoia's own recordings, lectures and a book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewww.Sonambient.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding: 0; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA.
