Metallic Zen-Bliss!

Sound sculpture music and poetry by 1950s American sculptor Harry Bertoia. I picked up a box set of his collected works this summer and was listening again quietly last night via headphones @ 4 a.m. Highly recommended the CD containing the original ’70s LP pieces–“Space Adventure” and “Echoes of Other Times”.

Eliot’s “The Peace which passeth understanding”. I have not been this totally relaxed from head to toe and completely inside: mentally and spiritually, in a long, long time.
Much of Bertoia’s work reminds one of bells of different tones and timbres. The effects are profound and very deeply felt and experienced. I was very surprised at the myriad vibrations and reverberations and how they, cumulatively, affect/penetrate the listener in subconscious and conscious ways. This may be the most sublime music I have ever experienced. Very transcendental, zenish, calming, peaceful, and satisfying.
