Sun Boxes

I just stumbled across this somehow...it sounds awesome.  Sounds like the perfect sunset activity in Turners!

You can listen to video of it here

"For the first three weekends of November Turners Falls RiverCulture will present Craig Colorusso's Sun Boxes, allowing the participants to observe the piece evolve as it moves through downtown Turners Falls from 11 am - sunset."

"Sun Boxes is a solar powered sound installation. It's comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels. Inside each Sun Box 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. Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time."

"Participants are encouraged to walk amongst the speakers, and surround themselves with the piece. Certain speakers will be closer and, therefore, louder so the piece will sound different to different people in different positions throughout the array. Allowing the audience to move around the piece will create a unique experience for everyone. In addition, the participants are encouraged to wander through the speakers, which will alter the composition as they move. Given the option two people will take different paths through the array and hear the composition differently. Sun Boxes is not just one composition, but, many."
