A study in incongruity : ArcAttack , the Tesla - helix playacting musical actadored by geeks everywhere , rocking out for Sharon Osbourne , Howie Mandel , and That British Guy Who Is n’t Simon Cowell on America ’s Got Talent . But something else is amiss …
ArcAttack : Lightning - Proof Musicians Share Their Tesla Coil Secrets
The musical Tesla coils around which the total act is based ? America ’s Got Talent silenced them ! For some reason , they were entirely edited out of the audio mix of the performance . And as far as I can tell , those “ electricity ” sounds you ’re hearing are just unrelated in high spirits - technical school sound event overdubbed on top . A conspiracy ! That ’s what this is .
mind to some of the ArcAttack videos we ’ve postedinthepast . The Tesla coils are n’t just there for show ; they ’re actually emitting the melodies of the songs .
This May Be the Craziest Tesla Coil Video Yet
But that musical component is completely missing from the America ’s Got Talent audition , covered up by some stock zaps and crackles and other sci - fi haphazardness .
But why the unusual edit ? Is it because the FCC does n’t think mainstream America is quick for the awesome power of musical lightning ? Because music studio want to keep the eccentric person demographic away from the pop chart ? BECAUSE THE POWERS THAT BE ARE quieten THE GREAT NIKOLA TESLA ONCE AGAIN ! ?
Maybe . Or maybe because it ’s just because desegregate music for TV is incredibly dodgy to start with , and if NBC ’s audio dudes just barely manage to figure out how to calculate for Lil Wayne ’s autotune on SNL a few time of year ago , I would n’t be surprised if they only regard the prospect of miking two gigantic musical lightning rods for about half a nanosecond before they just said “ screw it . ”
In any event , our ArcAttack pals must ’ve stack up well against whatever monocycle - riding accordianist came before them , because the judges were fairly breathless in their praise of the mathematical group . Gives you trust for shows like these ! I just wonder what they ’ll sound like in the next round ? [ YouTube ]
