Groove to the rhythm of light and sound with Ezra Masch at SCAD deFINE ART performance

Experience VOLUMES, a site-specific interactive light installation by Texas-based artist Ezra Masch that responds in real time to the rhythms of drummers. Brought to life by regional drummers working across a range of musical specialties, the installation comprises a grid of more than 20 tubular LED lights that translate strikes on drumheads and cymbals into luminous bursts. As the performance unfolds, sound and light enter a continuous feedback loop where each musical gesture shapes the next illumination and light, in turn, guides the performers’ subsequent notes. Transforming a typically sonic experience into a predominantly visual one, VOLUMES offers new modes of performance at the intersection of sound, light, and space, broadening how musical expression is created and perceived by both musicians and audiences alike.

The performance runs approximately 30 minutes.

This event is free and open to the public and presented as part of SCAD deFINE ART 2026.
