The Art of Vusic
A Living Composition of Light
The Language of the Crystalume
Crystalume is a visual instrument for light.
Played in real time with both hands, it bends color and clarity into living form. It is not a projection. It is a performance.
Vusic: The art of light performed
Vusic is Visual Music, Light composed in motion.
Through filters, lenses, and intention, each beam becomes a voice.
Crystalume Vinstrument performances are never the same twice. They are alive like music.
An Instrument Unlike Any Other
The Crystalume is a handmade analog light Vinstrument™. Played by hand, not code. Designed for presence, not playback. it invites participation both by the performer and by those who witness.
Light Has Memory
Each performance holds a trace of the hand, the mood, and the moment.
The Crystalume Vinstrument is more than a display, it is a living act.
Light shaped in real time carries emotion, memory, and intention.
No two performances are alike, but each one remembers something: a breathe, a beat, a moment only light could hold.

The Light behind the Light
About Jeane Z Champion Visual Instrumentalist, Leading voice behind Vusic and Artist of Perception
Jeane Zekowski Champion is a visual instrumentalist and the leading voice behind Vusic™, a new artistic form that plays light the way music plays sound. Though the term Vusic was first spoken by her lifelong mentor JC Allison, who coined the phrase
"Music = Vusic",
it is Jeane who has developed it into her deeper philosophy of perception, one rooted in balance,resonance and the awakening of awareness through played light.
As part of the evolution, Jeane introduced the yin-yang model to express Vusic's nature: Music as the dark (yin) and Vusic as the light (yang), Together, forming a complete perceptual circuit.
This clarity, of light and sound, seen and heard, inner and outer, is at the heart of her growing philosophy and practice.
As the developer of the Crystalume and founder of an emerging family of visual instruments, Jeane is pioneering a new sensory language that awakens perception through analog performance.
Her journey began long before she ever stepped onstage. Jeane is the daughter of lighting designer and engineer Gerry Zekowski, known for merging the science of lighting with the poetry of perception. In the early 1970s, he co-created Sensatiation, a recurring Friday night television experience, with light artist JC Allison. It featured real-time Crystalume performances set to live radio music, offering audiences a new way to see and feel sound.
Though Jeane was only two years old when Sensatiation aired, the creative atmosphere it sparked shaped her childhood. By the age of six, she was watching JC Allison, the original inventor of the Crystalume (invented in 1967), perform live. His lightwork wasn’t projection or backdrop. It was performance. Sculptural. Emotional. Played by hand, like an instrument. And from the moment she saw it, she knew: this was a language she would one day learn to speak.
Years later, during her first year of college, Jeane partnered with her university’s technology department and fine wood craftsman Gordon Lingly to build her own Crystalume. That collaboration led to her first public performance, a shared appearance with JC Allison at Bates Concert Hall, honoring the team who helped bring her instrument to life.
Her creative lineage doesn’t stop there. Jeane is also the cousin of Charles Seliger (born Charles Marvin Zekowski), the renowned American abstract expressionist known for his intricate, biomorphic paintings that revealed the hidden structures of nature. Like Seliger, Jeane explores the intersection of science, structure, and intuition, but where he painted, she performs. Her work extends this family legacy into a new dimension of light-based composition.
Today, Jeane Z Champion is not simply preserving a tradition, she is evolving it. Through her deepening philosophy of Vusic™, and her continued development of visual instruments like the Crystalume, she is creating a new form of visual music that engages the eyes, stirs the emotions, and invites a deeper kind of seeing.
This is not light as decoration.
This is light as instrument.
Played, not projected.
Felt, not filtered.
Lived, not layered over.
This is the light behind the light.
And Jeane Zekowski Champion is its voice.
