Craig Colorusso has been exploring the intersection of sound, light, and space through sculpture since 2000. His installations consist of wood, metal, fabric, and electronics.

The number PI is very seductive. The idea of a number that continues forever is very appealing. It makes me think about my breath. It is taken for granted but I will breathe everyday for the rest of my life. A breath every few seconds or so. What a great way to acknowledge the beauty of PI. Using my own breath with a Bass Clarinet and Clarinet to play a piece that lasts forever. A few minutes of PI presents itself as a hodgepodge of notes that over time this quickly turns into a wash of soothing sounds to dip into.
I like systems.
I like evolution.
I like forever.
I like numbers.
I like impossible.
On August 10, 1996 at noon Joel Westerdale and I presented Tagmusik, a 24 hour piece of Dr Java’s in Bethel, Connecticut.
Old friends came and joined us
Here is the layout of the piece.
Sound Swings Uptown are swings that make sound when you swing on them.
Commissioned by Specialized and fabricated by Modus Sudios the Sound Swings Uptown are located by the bike path at Uptown Fayetteville. Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Each Swing has it’s own portion of the composition that plays when activated. As soon as the swinging stops the composition pauses and resumes when the swinging begins again. If all three swings were to play for 24/7 the composition would last 55 days. With the coming and going of Swing opertors the possibilities are endless.
I think it sounds best with all three swings going. But I’ll let you decide.
The Sounds were made with an electric guitar. Bowed and plucked.
The latest incarnation of the Moon Phases series is The Moon Pod.
While the music plays in 29.53 day cycles; two light sources cast distorted shadows of the structure. Every 24 hours the Sun does its thing and every 29.53 the Moonn does.
The Moon Pod will be on display outside the ENT Center For Art in Colrado Springs, CO.
Brought here by GOCA arts as part of the AWOL program.
The Moon Pod will be up through December 2018. Sun Boxes will be moving around campus for the rest of the semester.
Longtime collaborator Ryan Blessey came to Colorado Springs to help with the build and install. This is some of what we did.
Sometimes it takes a village.
