SPIN – An Awesome Short Film

Damn, I’m having a hard time NOT posting stuff this weekend… for some reason I’ve been coming across some awesome content such as this short film called SPIN.

The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB.

And now the vid…
