Sonambient

Sonambient is the name of a series of 11 vinyl LP albums designed and recorded by mid-century modern sculptor Harry Bertoia.

In the later period of his career, Bertoia began to focus on sculpture that interacted with viewers, as well as with the elements such as the wind and weather.

He used his Sonambient Sculpture series to produce sounds, by manipulating the metal and other materials.

In the late 1990s, Bertoia's son Val found a large collection of unopened original album sets in one of the barns on his property in Pennsylvania that he used as a studio.

[citation needed] These were sold as collector's items and fetched large sums.
