This is VUSIC™. A light performed. A rhythm shared. A vision played by hand
You don't just watch it, you feel it.
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™ performances are never the same twice. They are alive like music.
An Instrument Unlike Any Other
The Crystalume™ is a handmade analog light instrument. Played by hand, not code. Designed for presence, not playback. it invites participation - both by performer and by those who witness.
Light Has Memory
Each performance holds a trace of the hand, the mood, and the moment.
The Crystalume™ visual instrument 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 eyedream of jeane concert light show
Enter the Dreamspace where light becomes language and your imagination writes the script.
A live Crystalume™ performance is in the development- a luminous journey through light, sound, rhythm, and emotion. The music moves me, I move the light. Each show is created in real time, by hand, through filters, lenses, and intention. This is not projection, This is performance.
Vusic™ is to light what Music is to sound.

Jeane Z. Champion
Z Champion is a visual performance artist and the leading steward of the Crystalume™, a handmade light instrument used to perform Vusic™, a form of visual music composed live with optics, color, rhythm, and intention.
She was first introduced to the Crystalume as a child, watching its inventor, JC Allison, bend beams of light into moving imagery. In those early years, she felt herself flying through the universe, her young mind in perfect sync with light, sound, and something beyond both. That connection would shape the course of her life.
She later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Southwest Texas State University, specializing in figure drawing. For her senior art exhibit, she didn’t just show her work, she performed the Crystalume, merging her academic training with her lifelong devotion to light as an expressive medium.
In her twenties, she began performing professionally. One of her earliest collaborations with JC Allison took place at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, Texas, in 1994, where they gave five performances a day, five days a week, for an entire month. The experience became more than a residency, it was a living experiment in visual harmony. The more they played, the more in sync they became, refining a shared language of light through repetition, intuition, and trust. For the audiences, and for them, it was otherworldly.
Since then, JZ has performed with musical legends such as Charles Neville of the Neville Brothers, joining him and his band Diversity onstage at Tipitina’s in New Orleans in 1992. She also performed five times a day for three days straight at the Kaleidoscope Convention at Epcot Center, creating live light compositions for audiences of artists and visionaries from around the world.
She has brought the Crystalume into classrooms, galleries, and sacred spaces, including a series of after-school children’s programs from 1992 to 1994, where she invited students to build instruments out of found objects. As they played, she responded in real time, bending light to their rhythms. In San Marcos, she also shared her work with elder audiences in a retirement home, believing that this kind of deep sensory connection can stimulate dopamine release, a neurochemical that supports mood, memory, motivation, and motor function in aging individuals.
She draws inspiration from early work by JC Allison, who performed at a school for the deaf in Houston. There, he placed speakers directly on the stage so students could feel the sound through vibration as light unfolded in rhythm. He believed this gave them their first real experience of what music feels like.
While she has performed in venues large and small, her deepest and most frequent work has taken place in the shadows of her own studio, where, for decades, she has offered intimate private shows in total darkness, immersed in light and sound. These sacred sessions, shared quietly with small audiences, remain her favorite way to perform.
Today, JZ Champion continues to perform, teach, and refine the practice of Vusic™, carrying forward the visionary origins of the Crystalume™ while shaping new ways to see, feel, and understand the language of light.
