— July 1, 2012 — Art & Design
Sun Boxes by Craig Colorusso is an ambient sound installation that's comprised of 20 speakers equipped with solar-power technology.

Each box plays a different loop of guitar notes and combines to create a zen-like setting with reverberating ambient sound that makes any person feel as if they're a part of the green fields. The notes from each box are constantly changing, which creates a trance of musical composition.

The sounds are extremely soothing and would act as the perfect music for a yoga class. The Sun Boxes are set in a field where people can sit in the middle and experience a memorable feeling. Sun Boxes by Craig Colorusso is also available on an app so users can make their smartphones act as personal sun box.
