  Baschet Brothers - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Baschet Brothers, Francois and Bernard, a sculptor and an engineer, respectively, collaborate on creating sound sculptures and inventing instruments.
Beginning in 1952 the Baschets started research into all existing musical instruments and put this knowledge to work in creating dozens of "structures sonores" ('sonorous sculptures').
Their visually striking instruments are crafted out of steel and aluminum and amplified by large curved conical sheets of metal, and are most often easy to play and accessible to people with any level of experience.

The Cristal Baschet (not Cristal Bachet, but sometimes called Crystal Organ and in English, Crystal Baschet) is composed of 54 chromatically tuned glass rods, rubbed with wet fingers.
But in the Cristal Baschet, the vibration of the glass is passed on to the heavy block of metal by a metal stem whose variable length determines the frequency (the note).
The BASCHET brothers’ aim was to get closer to the new tones born in the early fifties.

 Baschet Sculpture Sonores
As the title implies 'Sculpture Sonores' is the name given to a large collection of original instruments by the French inventors Francois and Bernard Baschet, who from 1952 pioneered for nearly 50 years a completely new way of combining sculpture and sound.
Some small, some over 20 feet high and incorporating glass rods, metal cones, wires', plastic inflatable resonators, and many other devices, these fascinating structures are not only cosmetically entracing, but produce an incredible range of sounds and varied sonic textures.
Some, such as the recent 'Cristal' have evolved into extremely sophisticated fully chromatic musical instruments that are just as practical to use as their traditional counterparts, and are regularly used for performances of anything from Bach to Jazz, and a massive range of contemporary music.

This film presents the inventive work of two French brothers, François and Bernard Baschet, creators since the 1950s of unusual, elegant sound sculptures and musical instruments.
Interwoven throughout the film are a variety of performances and clips from film and television, including scenes from THE TESTAMENT OF ORPHEUS (directed by Jean Cocteau), DREAM OF WILD HORSES (Colomb de Daunant), and even THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW.
Stylistically mirroring the sculptures' highly reflective stainless steel surfaces, the film shows how the Baschets' work expresses a unique fusion of their political, social, and aesthetic philosophies.
