Instrumental Baschet. La utopia resonant

The Museu de la Música presents an exhibition dedicated to the creative universe of Bernard (1917–2015) and François Baschet (1920–2014), two artists and inventors who, from the 1950s onwards, proposed a new way of understanding the musical instrument.

Their contribution takes the form of a set of inventions they called sound sculptures, constructed from industrial and everyday materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, cardboard or inflatable cushions, and capable of generating complex and unusual sounds without resorting to electricity.

Fruit of an approach that combines art and science, intuition and method, the Baschet universe develops a unique research into the relationships between form, matter and sound.

Intuition, play, exploration and direct participation in sound production define an open and accessible conception of the instrument and the musical experience.

In this sense, the Baschet sound sculptures can be understood as open works, true resonant utopias that foster new forms of listening and participation. You can consult further information about the exhibition "Instrumental Baschet.
