A Tesla coil arcs lightning in a draped festival tent as a crowd holds glowing tubes up to it

SPIF

Melodic house DJ set & lightning show

Put lightning into your crowd's hands. A live melodic DJ set — inspired by the likes of Lane 8, Joachim Pastor, Worakls and Einmusik — with a live musical Tesla coil that fires lightning to the beats and tones of the music.

№ 02 — The ritual

Hands on the lightning.

A crowd raises glowing tubes toward an arcing Tesla coil on a wooden plinth in a draped tent
The Tesla coil arcs blue lightning; glowing tubes radiate around it in the tent
Figures reach glowing tubes toward the top of the coil under blue light
Glowing tubes fan out from the coil like spokes against the dark tent, orange glow beyond
People cross glowing blue tubes at the coil, forming a star of light in the tent
Figures in fur and feathers near the coil, tubes glowing blue in the deep tent light
Long-exposure: glowing tubes streak the dark like a field of blue and orange rays around the coil

№ 03 — What it is

The instrument is the room.

The crowd plays with fluorescent tubes, becoming part of the music: hold one up and it lights, drawing lightning from the coil. Technology done right is indistinguishable from magic — a live musical performance not to miss.
