Full program notes

Step into an evening of deep healing and artistic expression, where sound and movement come together to create a transformative experience. This unique event features a powerful collaboration between Mark Deutsch, the inventor of the Bazantar, and Martha Matsuda, a Butoh performer. The fusion of Bazantar’s transcendental soundscapes and Butoh’s evocative movements will awaken your senses and open the door to a profound healing journey. Engage in an intimate discussion with Mark about the creation of the Bazantar and its impact on physiology and consciousness. The Bazantar’s harmonics will guide you into a meditative state, promoting physical healing, emotional release, and mental clarity. Purge negative energies and step into abundance. A master of sound and music, Mark blends his expertise in sacred systems and non-linear mathematics with a deep understanding of world music. His performances are often described as healing and sometimes exorcistic, with a blend of jazz, Indian and European classical, as well as avant-garde influences. He has worked on notable projects like Apple TV’s Prehistoric Planet and the award-winning documentary Nocturnes. Also witness the avant-garde Japanese dance form of Butoh, an art born out of post-WWII Japan, exploring the shadows and light of human expression. A veteran of the Butoh movement, Martha’s performances tap into the raw, emotive power of this Japanese theater form. With decades of experience, she continues to push the boundaries of Butoh, fusing it with the haunting soundscapes created by Mark on the Bazantar. This event welcomes adults and children alike. Whether you are new to sound healing or an enthusiast, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and inspired. This intimate gathering will be held in a historic community center, once a church, where the acoustics will enhance the depth of the experience. Bring a dish or a drink for a potluck to share, as we come together not just as spectators, but as a community. This event is open to all who feel called. Let the music, movement, and conversation lead you to a place of healing and connection.
