Martí Ruids is a musician and sound artist. Professor and researcher in the sculpture department at the Universitat de Barcelona. With more than a decade of experience with sound sculptures and working with masters in Japan.

Member of Híbrida, Nen i Cavall. Part of a duet band RIUH with Raquel Cruces performing traditional folk music from the Iberian Peninsula. Member of Pangalmelan, exploring gamelan music from Indonesia, using pots and pans to create unique instruments, rhythm, pitch and percussion, achieving trance like states.

We met in July in Barcelona in fortuitous circumstances, on the way in to see Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s new band ~ The Smile at Pablo Espanyol.

In this episode we talk about experimental music. Sound and resonance. How it effects consciousness. The very nature of reality. Martí's work reviving Baschet Sound Sculptures with concerts in Japan. And exploring the realms of traditional music from Iberia, across places in Catalunya, Basque country, and Portugal.
