Sun Boxes are an envi­ron­ment to enter and exit. It’s com­prised of twenty speak­ers oper­at­ing inde­pen­dently each pow­ered by solar pan­els. There is a dif­fer­ent gui­tar sam­ple in each box all play­ing together mak­ing the com­po­si­tion. The gui­tar sam­ples are all of dif­fer­ent lengths so the whole piece keeps evolving.

Par­tic­i­pants are encour­aged to walk amongst the speak­ers. It sounds dif­fer­ent inside of the array. There is a dif­fer­ent sense of space inside. Cer­tain speak­ers will be closer and louder there­fore the piece will sound dif­fer­ent to dif­fer­ent peo­ple in dif­fer­ent posi­tions through­out the array. Cre­at­ing a unique expe­ri­ence for everyone.

There are no bat­ter­ies involved. The Sun Boxes are reliant on the sun. When the sun sets the music stops. The piece changes as the length of the day changes. Mak­ing the par­tic­i­pants aware of the cycle of the day.
