Radio Tesla

Peter Keene 2005

Interactive sound Installation. Vacuum tube, tesla coils, electronic control system, amplifiers, loudspeakers, neon tubes.


Radio tesla is an inter reactive sound installation.
Five vacuum tube tesla coils create a beating resonant electromagnetic field.As people approach or pass by the coils the beats change in the same manner as a Theremin.A five voice drone is produced amplified and spacialized.
Neon tubes in close proximity to the coils are excited and glow the installation is sort of like Nikola Tesla meets Theremin in the Dream house of the Monte Young.
