Italian term or phrase: luce sulla lama
I don't know what this is describing with regard to the light. It relates to a performance of art.

...amplificazione di due chitarre elettriche e di campionature sonore, in un oscurita interrotta dal solo baluginare della luce sulla lama e sul gesto ossessivo.

glare on the pick/plectrum


Explanation:
Is this about a guitar performance? If this is the case maybe the blade could be the plectrum / pick sometimes made out of a material that reflects the light. I hope this helps...
