Eleh /Tara Jane O'Neil - Split Eleh /Tara Jane O'Neil

Harry Bertoia’s sound sculptures and gongs connect the two sides of this split LP from Tara Jane O’Neil and Eleh.

Vanessa Renwick commissioned O’Neil’s composition for her video installation Medusa Smack, first screened at the Oregon Biennial in 2012. The piece draws on Bertoia’s recordings of his own Sonambient sound sculptures and O’Neil’s recording of Athanasius Kircher’s Bell Wheel at the Museum of Jurassic Technology.

On the other side, Eleh uses a Serge modular system to synthesise 100 gong sounds in honour of the centenary of Bertoia’s birth in 2015.
