things related to science, music may not make the top of your
list.  But the folks involved with a small collective called
ArcAttack would like you to change your associations.  ArcAttack
is all about one thing: building singing Tesla coils and
crafting entire musical performances around them. For some time,
at events like Dorkbot and other geekfests, the team--Joe

straightforward demonstrations of their creations. But they were

adding much in the way of their own innovations besides the
singing Tesla coils themselves.  Now, however, ArcAttack has a
whole ensemble mixing science and music and plastic--the Tesla
coils, a pipe organ made from PVC, a robotic drumset--and
putting it all together in short c
