I had no idea that Harry Bertoia (he of the diamond chair) was also a sculptor, and even less of an idea that he was a sound sculptor. The picture above is of one of his sculptures—imagine running your hand over the top and the metal reeds shimmering against each other. Follow the via link below to hear some sound clips (and you should really watch the video at the end of that post; the tone out of this thing is gorgeous). (via THIS IS WEIRD VIBRATIONS)
