After over three hours of listening (and sometimes watching) the Treasury Secretary Geithner and Federal Reserve Chair Bernanke testify at the House Financial Services Commitee hearing on efforts to prevent AIG from collapsing, I noticed one thing: Secretary Geithner and Federal Reserve Chair Bernanke sure know how to pick the ties out.

SexyBack vs. Legend of Zelda Theme on Two Tesla Coils from Trammell on Vimeo.

Creators of the original Singing Tesla Coils, the crew of ArcAttack uses high tech wizardry to present music in a whole new light.
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.
