craig colorusso: sun boxes



we are all reliant on the sun. it is refreshing to be reminded of this. our lives
have filled up with technology. but we still need the sun and so does sun
boxes.' - CC


participants are encouraged to walk amongst the speakers, and surround themselves
with the piece. certain speakers will be closer and, therefore, louder so the resulting music
will sound different to visitors depending on their position. allowing the audience to move
around the boxes will create a unique experience for everyone. thus, 'sun boxes' can construct
not just one composition, but many.

'sun boxes' by american musician and light and sculpture artist craig colorusso
is a solar powered sound installation comprised of twenty speakers, each operating
independently. inside the 'sun boxes' is a PC board that has a recorded guitar note loaded
and programmed to play continuously in a loop. these guitar notes collectively make
a Bb chord. as the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continually
overlap and the musical composition slowly evolves over time.
