Of Musical Tesla Coils and… Musical Tesla Coils

Friday, August 22nd, 2008
of-musical-tesla-coils-and-musical-tesla-coils

This compilation is especially for Ms. Babble-Jean Teabag who is currently away nursing a healthy relative back to sickness.

It is a collection of videos on musical Tesla coils, compiled by our loyal, trusty, and hardworking intern, Whats-His-Name, the research monkey.

These are solid-state Tesla coils, Their primaries run at a resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and they are modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.

No, the electricity is not timed and coordinated to the music: the music is made by these two midi-controlled Tesla Coils!

A midi, is of course, is some sort of small electro-magical creature, native to the Russian tundra – and it lives for the opportunity to use its elemental powers to enrich the lives of man.

Steve Ward and Jeff Larson, the owners and builders of these Tesla coils, and masters of these highly talented midis, met at Teslathon of all places.

Steve is an electrical engineering student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

So, without much further ado… here are those moving pictures… WITH SOUND!

OH!

… I’ve just been informed that “WITH SOUND!” is something that would probably not serve to amaze and confound people the likes of our regular readers – so, please forget that I ever said that.

Playing video game music:

Dance of Sugar Plum Fairies:

Now: What happens when a Jedi tries to disrupt the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies:

As you can see, the jedi is almost completely immobilized by the Tesla coils, and powerless to continue his attack, his giant helmet keeping him only barely alive, he becomes confused… disinterested…

Not a Jedi you say? What? Doctor who? Doctor Zues? Well… fine… whatever…

Human People Slander Dunwich Again

Friday, August 22nd, 2008
human-people-slander-dunwich-again

The Dunwich Horror Dark Radio Adventure

Humans are at it again this time! From the cover, it seem innogurous enough, howevers Dunwich Horror think Dunwich Horror not deserving of this portrayal… AGAIN!

This story, equally lie like the last story, wishes again to paint Dunwich as bad smelly guy, probably with big footprints the size of tree trunks. This in themself is misleading to people because what size is tree trunk? Exactly! Tree trunk have no exact size! Tree trunk can be small like tasty cat, or big like tasty cow – can be short and have candy like tasty child, or tall like tasty moose! Tree trunk come in all shapes and sizes.

They say history is written by Victor, and therefore, if your name not Victor, you should not write history AT ALL, especiarey when write lies about dunwich AGAIN! If writing things about Dunwich, or saying things about Dunwich – say them in MUSICAL!

Dunwich Horror deserve good MUSICAL, think it better for public relationships, make people know Dunwich Horror am really good guy.

Dunwich would like have relations with all humans… humans like you… yes, Dunwich want have relations with YOU… good ones.

Instead Dunwich get banished time and time again by wrinkly old guy with bug sprayer and naughty bad words what hurt Dunwich Horrors tender ears.

If you want hear spooky LIES written to make humans not look bad, this am album for you:

Along with LIES ABOUT DUNWICH HORROR comes the  a supposed clipping from 1917 copy of Arkham Advertiser, a vintage map of Dunwich, Sentinel Hill and the surrounding region (SEE? Dunwich Horror cannot be all bad if they NAMED REGION AFTER DUNWICH HORROR), a page from Wilbur Whateley’s diary with some occult cypher, and replica of key page from the Whateleys’ copy of John Dee’s Necronomicon. You can buy it through Amazon here.Doing so through link not cost you more, however, will give me some Archive funds to build onto my special gallery wing of archive.

If you smart human and would rather have musical, you can write creators of lie CD and tell them so at their main page: H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (cthulhulives.org).

Serverely thank you, Dunwich Horror

How Wings are Attached to the Backs of Angels

Monday, August 18th, 2008
how-wings-are-attached-to-the-backs-of-angels

At first I thought this was an instructional video. About twenty birds in, I was informed that it was in fact an art film by Craig Welch, who is apparently quite brilliant and quite adept at animating images on film.

Now that I am able to fully appreciate it for what it is, I must say Bravo!

Pustota

I found this remarkable gem today whilst floating about on the aethernet.

This amazing film with sound was made by KOL-BELOV Film, with music by Theodor Bastard (Saint Petersburg, Russia).

I am not quite sure if this is a vision of the future, or of our glorious past, but I feel I speak for all when I say our founders would be most pleased with this feature, whatever its origins.

Had I tear ducts and other related body parts, I would surely weep at its beauty.

Want New Inquisitions for Art Galley

Sunday, July 27th, 2008
want-new-inquisitions-for-art-galley

As you might have known: Me, Dunwich Horror am occupant of archive as well. Even though they try from time to time, or always, to make me leave archive by spraying things on me and calling me bad smell.

What you might not know about things is that Dunwich Horror has found new corners of archive no one knows about, even you, and those corners am currently empty of the sorts of interested things what decorate the archive where humans and others dwell.

My annex, as we in art worlds say about art places that are extra, has much need for things to make it more… “placey”, something to pretty up empty space.

I need better providers of stuff – here is why:

Ready? Okay!

Unknown decorators come throughout every day and try to decorate the Dunwich Horror Annex with things… many of which not too spiffy, such as bananna peels, empty milk cartons, styrofoam peanuts, and such.

Not to complain, they are not bad decorations – but apparently trucks like these things… A LOT!

Each weak, BIG truck finds annex, lifts annex up in sky, and eats all decorations what were donated. Sometimes Eats Dunwich Horror. Scares bejebus out of Dunwhich Horror each and every time… sometime Dunwich Horror has to walk home after being eaten.

Dunwich Horror wants make annex official with real stuff what trucks do not like. Dunwich Horror wants to sleep in on Tuesdays, and not get eated by BIG truck, and not have walk home.

More artifact and relic donations, crafty donations, and such – less dead cats and “sporks” – less mustache cream tin, less ”shaved snizzy magazine” (scary!). ART! That is what Dunwich needs to get annex up and running.

Send links to art donations and exhibits through handy contact form, tell Dunwich Horror about yourself and donations.

Thank you,

Dunwich Horror.
