ArcAttack's Singing Tesla Coils and PVC Pipe Organ

April 17, 2008 by Lukas Gilkey



ArcAttack brings together a very odd combination of automated instruments to form a demented band. We've all seen the whole singing Tesla Coil thing done before, but the robotic drummer and PVC pipe organ really make the performance.

From the ArcAttack website:
"ArcAttack employs a unique DJ set up of their own creation (an HVDJ set up) to generate an 'electrifying' audio visual performance. The HVDJ pumps music through a PA System while two specially designed DRSSTC's (Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) act as separate synchronized instruments.

These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt which put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers. The music consists of original highly dance-able electronic compositions that sometimes incorporates themes or dub of popular songs."


Videos after the jump.

The website mentions show dates and lists one from early April in Texas where the creators are. If you get a chance to see this thing in person, by all means go.
