This historic compilation was released in 1975 by the Canadian label A.R.C. Records, serving as an audio catalog for the "Sound/Sculpture" exhibition held at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1973. It was edited by David Rosenboom, a pioneer of American experimental music, and John Grayson, editor of an important book on sound sculpture. While it includes rare recordings of performances on sculptures by the Baschet brothers and Harry Bertoia, featuring both of these artists, the majority of the tracks are by Stephan Von Huene, a leading pioneer of media art and sound sculpture. The recordings capture performances that are at once whimsical and peculiar. 1975 original with booklet.
73年にバンクーバー美術館で開催された音響彫刻展「Sound/Sculpture」のオーディオカタログとして、75年にカナダのA.R.C. Recordsから発表された歴史的なコンピレーション。編集にはアメリカ実験音楽のパイオニアDavid Rosenboomと音響彫刻に関する重要書籍の編集者であるJohn Graysonが務め、この二人を含んだBaschet兄弟やHarry Bertoiaの彫刻を演奏する希有なテイクを含んでいるものの、多くを占める最大のメディア・アートや音響彫刻の先駆者Stephan Von Hueneによる各音源。あまり音源が存在しないというのも事実ですが人懐っこさもありながら奇妙なパフォーマンスが収められています。電子機器を全く使っていないというのも驚かされる。ブックレット付属のオリジナル盤です。稀少。
