Sculptor / musician
Michael Bashaw has become well known for the large-scale, welded steel
instruments which he designs and builds. The instruments, known as Sound
Sculptures are played in a variety of ways: some are mallet instruments,
some have strings which are hammered or bowed, while others are made up
of chimes. These very unique instruments are combined with
the more traditional flute, guitar and hand percussion to create a "New
World" musical experience.
Bashaw's Sound Sculpture
concerts are engaging; a provocative blend of sound, movement and theater
aspiring as much to ritual as to entertainment.
Audience members often describe
the concert experience as uplifting -- even healing. Dramatic,
thunderous rolls of sound mix with exotic timbres.Atmospheric tone poems
segue into more traditional musical structures, but all employ the sonic
uniqueness of Bashaw's Sound Sculptures.
The MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival showcases a juried art fair, savory food, live concerts, performance artists and street performers!
