"Spooky Scary Skeletons" is a 1996 song by Andrew Gold that was soon used by Disney for all kinds of Halloween projects, and eventually became in internet meme of its own. That's how you know the song, even if you can't put your finger on where you know it from. Here we see it being played by the most appropriate instrument- tesla coils! In fact, an array of four tesla coils in harmony. Franzoli Electronics programmed the song, and this performance has not been remixed or enhanced. It does have a separate drum track, but the rest of it is just musical electrical arcs bouncing back and forth. A fine score for your Halloween activities. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
The 4 coils each arc to the mat when triggered.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought there was arcing between coils but slowed to .25 speed they don't, just to the mat.
Does each coil have a different tone so they can be played like a 4 stringed instrument?
