Casual Friday — ArcAttack!
I saw this on Crave, and just had to pass it along. A team of three (Joe DiPrima, Oliver Greaves, and Tony Smith) calling themselves ArcAttack have been making music with tuned Tesla coils, a PVC pipe organ, and drum kit. I’ve been meaning to do a podcast episode on Tesla for a while now; maybe after work gets less crazy in a few weeks. Let’s just say for the time being that Tesla coils are essentially very good lightning generators — and if you tune them correctly, they produce some useful sounds.
In the meantime, here’s an ArcAttack performance to tide you over:
High tech never sounded so good, even in an admittedly geeky kind of way…

This is Patrick from Arcattack. We have built two additional coils that are 7 feet tall! We are now doing regular performances and so maybe we will come through your part of the world. Come visit us and sign up for updates at arcattack.com
