Glass Beams is the music project of Indian-Australian multi-instrumentalist and producer Rajan Silva. He founded the group in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The band blends Eastern musical elements with contemporary Western music. On stage and in music videos, the band appears in bejewelled doily-like masks.

History

The band's debut EP, Mirage, was released in 2021. The follow-up EP, Mahal, was released on Ninja Tune in March 2024, and entered at #5 in the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and #13 on the Billboard Jazz Albums.

In all public appearances, the band wears gold bejeweled glass masks.

Silva is primarily a drummer and records, produces, and mixes all of the band's music.
