Twin Musical Tesla Coils playing Mario Bros

"Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB If you look at another You Tube video which is from a different angle, you can hear the echo off the building and get a better idea of how loud it is.

Cantos Music Foundation

Cantos Music Foundation is the largest synth museum in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Brandon Smith who works there, sent in the following.

"I work at the Cantos Music Foundation (The largest and as far as I know only keyboard museum in Canada) in Calgary Alberta, and thought I'd send a few Pics of interest., The modular system is a Delta Music Research system which started off as a local Calgary company. That double minimoog belonged to Patrick Moraz (of Yes), The Apollo and Lyra were Keith emmersons at one point, and as far as I know the only ones ever made, and the one that looks like a franken-moog is the prototype of the multimoog. Well, keep up the good work!"

Thanks Brandon! Click here to see the full set of images.
