The "I give you this organ music--" clip, judging from the distortion when the camera goes near one of the coils is.... LOUD!
This distortion, and bandwidth, is the reason for the short clip. The rest of the original clip I walked all the way around the coils, and back but I thought it best not to confuse the listener with the added distorted bit.

So where is the whole system now? Is it going to be used for anything else?
Also, how did a Danish arts group find out that musical Tesla coils existed?
A short resume of this project. During 2004 I had modified a cheap toyshop syntesizer into triggering my OLTC coil, so that it could put out single notes at a time. In the town where I live, we have an anual "art night", where local artists show what they are doing. Painters, sculptors, choirs, the lot. I was showing this very crude musical coil in front of the church. The leader of the music school got very interested, and we agreed to make a performance together the next year, which was 2005 and so the group was formed around the idea of the Tesla Organ. Steven was willing to make the electronics and a dance group joined too. That, in short, is how. The coils are here with me, and I am of course looking for a proper chance to present it for a larger audience. I`l keep you posted when I find the right time and place.

History tends to dictate that we as a people like to combine favorite things, in this case; Tesla Coils and music. Now we just have to come up with a way to combine 4hv's favorite thing; tesla coils with the worlds favorite things; food, women and fighting....

wow...this is such great stuff. the Fugue just blew me away, its always been a favorite. I'd love to have multiple octaves, I just don't have the kind of 'play time' necessary. I hope after graduation though.
Maybe Ill play guitar through the fist one for fun.

mhh, today i tried my idea of a musical interrupter and it worked fine, its not that difficult than i thought when you use a simple keyboard without all that midi stuff, okay its not that confortable but it works fine and you need only 1 ic for everything and its no yC.
