Harry Bertoia, celebrated sculptor and designer, may well have been the first industrial musician — and Mechanization I & II makes a compelling case for that distinction. Released in 2024, this LP captures Bertoia working with his iconic sound sculptures in an intentionally heavy, rhythmic style that he himself described as "mechanized," "mechanical," and "factory like," framing his sonic work as a true "collaboration with industry."
Spanning two extended pieces, Mechanization I & II showcases a darker, more percussive side of Bertoia's experimental sound art — one that feels strikingly ahead of its time. For fans of avant-garde and experimental music, this release offers a fascinating window into the work of an artist who was pushing sonic boundaries long before industrial music became a recognized genre.
