Supporting Martha Matsuda After the Loss of Mark Deutsch
Donation protected
On Monday, May 5, 2:22pm, Mark Deutsch's brilliant soul etherealized.
Mark's spirit is a potently powerful gift for humanity. His revolutionary instrument, the Bazantar, was the voice of his soul—a unique six-string acoustic bass with 29 sympathetic strings and 4 drone strings that created mesmerizing soundscapes bridging Eastern and Western musical traditions.
Mark loved his wife Martha with all of his heart. The way he looked at her will forever be imprinted in our hearts. Their partnership~ a true love partnership of beauty and creativity.
In such a shockingly short time. everything has changed. Mark's spirit continues to soar, those left behind, especially Martha, face the difficult reality of grief alongside practical concerns.
We are raising $ to help Martha Matsuda with:
- Living expenses during bereavement
- Guerilla Organics business
- Supporting Martha's ability to continue her Butoh artistry
-and of course their cats
Any and all donations help preserve Mark's unique musical legacy while supporting his beloved partner during this difficult transition.
Thank you for your love made visible.
