Very much overestimated. Each "album" is more or less a drone-sound. No chords, no melody, nothing but drone noises. It's the easiest "music" to make. No thoughts, no ideas but silly noise-drones. Soulless emptines. There are much better "artists" in this genre.

I like Mr. Bertoia's recordings, but if you've heard one, you've heard 'em all.

I've heard that all eleven of the Bertoia LPs were available together as a box set. Can anyone here confirm this? If so, it would be great if they could post it as a new submission.
