These two last Soundsculptures were restored in a fabulous collaboration amongst Kyoto Art Center -Artist in Residence Program-, Kyoto City University of Arts, and the Baschet Soundsculpture Workshop from Barcelona University.
Nagata, Ruids -and Chie Kitamura singing as a special guest- play on a improvised flow upon a compositional strategy by Ruids, to squeeze out the most unique features of the 4 Baschet Masterpieces in just 20 minutes. It is a pleasure for Ruids to count on the sensitive and professional complicity and skills of KitamuraSan and NagataSan.
Ruids uses also an original Baschet inflatable Guitar and

This concert is part of a wider activity program, including the restoration, building of new soundsculptures, building and sounding workshops with KCUA students and children, other concerts -such as KCUA concerts, and the revival of Takemitsu's "Seasons" composition for Percussions and Baschet Soundsculptures-, lectures and participative exhibition at KAC.
Many friendly, hard-working and open-hearted people made this project possible and succesfull.
Thanks to all!
