This record came with issue #1 of Halana magaizine. In addition to the Shipp and Connors cuts, the record features 5 lock grooves from sculptor and furniture designer Harry Bertoia's Sonambient LPs. Bertoia created huge sound sculptures in a barn in rural Pennsylvania and self-released a series of 10 beautiful LPs in the '70's that with their homemade sounds and stark black & white cover art fall somewhere between Partch's Gate 5 and Jandek's Corwood Industries. Overall, a beautiful reminder that by the end of the 20th century, American folk/sound art was still very much alive and well.
