description:
Rare private pressing by legendary artist and instrument builder Rutman featuring the alien soundscapes of his steel sound sculptures The Bow Chime and Single String Steel Cello, similar to Lasry-Baschet's Structures Sonores. Rutman's resonating steel sheets produce a fantastic otherworldy ambient drone music. This lp is listed in the Broken Music catalog of artists' record works.

artist info from album notes etc.:

US Shipping Media Mail with tracking is $5.00 for up to 3 12" records, then $0.65 for each additional; Priority Mail is also available but pricing depends on zipcode (you can check eBay's calculated shipping price on this page); other expedited shipping options and insurance are all available on request. Combine multiple items to save on shipping.

International Shipping Up to 2 12" records to Europe/UK/Scandinavia/Asia/Australia is $23.00 for USPS First Class Airmail with tracking, and roughly $10 for every 2 additional lps depending on weight (7" records will cost less; heavy box sets will cost more). Up to 2 12" records to Canada is $16.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking. Up to 2 12" records to Mexico is $21.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking.

International shipments requiring insurance can use the faster but more expensive USPS Priority Mail International service or other expedited insured methods. Combine multiple items to save on shipping; I can hold paid records to be combined with a future purchase if desired. Feel free to email with any shipping questions.

Packing I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective) reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.

Payment I accept Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment). Please email with any payment questions. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an eBay invoice to winners shortly after my auctions close, and an email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment.

Other Info Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use eBay's 'ask a question' function. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws) / F (very major flaws). All included album inserts are pictured in the listing; what you see is what you get, if I know an insert is missing I will mention it in the description. Satisfaction guaranteed; if you have any problems with your order please contact me directly.
