This is episode 5 where I talked with Craig Colorusso from the band China Pig that performed in Danbury in the mid 90’s and toured throughout the country. He ran the indie label Mudd Industries and produced albums for G’nu Fuz, Hed and Monsterland. After catching a live show from G’nu Fuz he wanted to find a way to contribute to the band but wasn’t sure how. He decided he’d help them put out a record. He didn’t know where to start though. While working at Trash American Style, Malcolm Tent encouraged Craig to give it a shot by dropping a record pressing catalog in his lap one day. It was this kind of motivation and energy that proliferated throughout the Danbury scene.Early on in high school, a friend told Craig that he was weird and girls probably wouldn’t like him. His friends solution? Learn how to play the guitar and join a band. Then he might get noticed.This conversation helped educate me more about the punk and hardcore scene in Danbury and throughout CT. Craig currently lives in Rogers, Arkansas with, as he says, one wife, one kid and three cats. He spends his time creating installations that explore sound, light and space. Enjoy this conversation with Craig Colorusso.

When I first ran across Craig Colorusso's work, it was in a very familiar situation - a place I recognized from my occasional teaching stints down in Colorado Springs. Looking into it, it was not only a nice piece of work in a familiar location, but it turns out to be a sound sculpture, with equal focus on both the sculpture and the sound of it. I had to learn more! It turns out that the Colorado Springs installation (called the Moon Pod) is a recent creation from sound/sculpture artist Colorusso, and I was really intrigued. I've had a chance to do some work with outdoor sonic artwork, and it is definitely not an easy road. Reviewing his earlier work, I saw solar-powered speaker systems, sonically-activated swings and so much more, with everything having a signature sound (generally derived from guitar tones) created to be long-form pieces. Talking to Craig was just as interesting as reviewing his pieces. From his history as a guitarist, time in a butoh dance company and his current work as a composer writing pieces for sculpture, he's put together a fantastic art practice - and a fantastic life, too. He's a down-to-earth guy that loves to work, and to create great things. You can check out Craig's work on his site: www.craigcolorusso.com, and listen to short-form versions of his tracks on Spotify, Apple Music and other services. Enjoy!
