Masary Studios brings their Sound Sculpture to the Lamont Gallery for one day only!
Interact with the Sound Sculpture creating spontaneous and participatory performances through the afternoon and during the opening reception.
Sound Sculpture is an interactive instrument/art installation comprised of large blocks that change color and emit sound. The piece is designed to be participatory and collaborative. “Arranging the blocks in space changes the triggered sound and light patterns (rhythm, pitch, color, texture, etc) produced by the sculpture - in this way participants are creating physical and sonic structures collectively and simultaneously.”
Masary Studios specializes in reconsidering environments by creating site-specific installations using sound, light, interactivity, and performance. The three principal members of Masary Studios – Ryan Edwards, Maria Finkelmeier and Sam Okerstrom-Lang – have backgrounds that include degrees in fine art, classical and world percussion, as well as years of experience in West African music studies, painting, new music curation and direction, teaching at the university and conservatory levels and more. Masary Studios was created in 2014 and since then they have designed a number of large-scale musical and installation events in city centers and for nighttime festivals, including most recently, the Waking The Monster piece on Fenway Park as part of the Boston Illuminus Festival.
