MASARY “Sound Sculpture” Interactive Light and Audio Experience

Posted

Whether you're a music lover, a tech enthusiast, or are just looking for a magical winter night out in Providence, MASARY’s “Sound Sculpture” at Three Nights of Lights invites you to step into a glowing world of light and music that you have a hand in creating!

WHAT IT IS:

“Sound Sculpture” is an interactive sound and light instrument for spontaneous, cooperative composition. 25 location-aware blocks comprise a massive, wireless midi controller. Each cube represents a note in spatial dimension and time, and your interaction with and placement of the cubes creates musical structures. Unique sound and lights scores are created and realized with each audience engagement.

WHAT IT’S LIKE:

The experience is like walking onto sheet music, picking up the musical notes and moving them around to change the pitch, rhythm, melody and harmony!

ABOUT MASARY:

MASARY is a transdisciplinary artist collective reconsidering environments through site-specific installations using sound, light, interactivity, and performance. Based in Boston, the studio's practice includes live percussion performance, electronic music and production, facade projection-mapped video, artistic research, technology and materials fabrication, and the expansive use of animation. The studio is artist-owned and managed and was founded in 2015.
