David Emm Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Here's something beautifully bizarre: 2-part harmonies from Tesla coils! My first time out, I didn't know whether to laugh or listen to my jaw dropping. Excellent work. 2:49. There's also a version of "This Is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" that's a keeper. 2:12. Quote "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!" "Yeah, Bulletnose!

Tom Williams Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I strongly suspect that we're seeing a cool light show with hidden speakers. It seems to me that the latency of the spark would not be able to support frequencies higher than about 100 Hz. This reminds me of the video of a juggler bouncing balls off a flat MIDI controller on the floor -- cute image, but faked results.

Buzzkillingly yours, The drums & percussion are overdubbed, as he writes in the description. The Tesla coils are probably real. This was, as far as I can tell (and remember), the first instance of MIDI-Controlled Tesla coils, twelve years ago: Quote "The Angels of Libra are in the European vanguard of the [retro soul] movement" (Bill Buckley, Soul and Jazz and Funk) The Drawbars | off jazz organ trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Meh Culpa (1) -- I believe now that the Tesla coils are the speakers (as well as the light show). Basically, any sound you put into the box is what will come out. The MIDI part is irrelevant. Endnotes: (1) Pun intended.
