«Music and Scene in Transformation» Masters Festival
«Between Pleasure and Untouched» – Rino Murakami
Students in the Master’s programme «Music and Scene in Transformation» at the Basel Academy of Music present their final projects as part of a mini-festival. The concerts take place over several days in a variety of formats and with different ensembles.
What worlds come to mind when you imagine your own «utopia»?
«Between Pleasure and Untouched» invites you to step into a sensory space temporarily detached from reality, a place where body, sound, and space resonate together before meaning arises. It is an autonomous realm where sensations exist freely, unbound by fixed roles or definitions, and where each moment can unfold without expectation.
Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting «The Garden of Earthly Delights», Rino Murakami and her collaborators explore an ephemeral dimension, a pastel-coloured, meaning-free celebration that emerges between pleasure and «untouched», entirely without scenario, predetermined purpose, or political or aesthetic message, conceived as a fleeting passage.
Immerse yourself in this transient soundscape and experience a state that is not explained or analysed, but simply perceived and felt.
