Strange concert

[danalwyn]

Dropped by a short, but somewhat interesting concert on Wednesday. Well, it wasn't much of a concert, because it was short, and I'm not sure whether all the music was actually music, but the instruments were... unique ...and (at least to me) visually impressive. They had some technical problems with the pitch though which I'm sure they're working on (once they get more money)

Picture behind the cut of a moderately decent harmonic chord.







They claim to be able to play the Mario Brothers Theme and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, but they either didn't play it, or I couldn't make it out.

That is pretty cool. What's the premise behind the equipment? Where was it held? Awesome pix!

Well, the picture's not mine, but they use a Tesla coil setup to generate musical notes through the crackling sound of lightning shooting across the interval, which actually sort of works. They do this at Fermilab, at least once a year.
