Mark Vidler, aka Go Home Productions, has made available nearly all the bootlegs and mash-ups he’s made over the last few years. 16 CDs in all, either via torrent, or two big ole .rar files: uno, dos.

More details, tracklistings etc on his website: gohomeproductions.co.uk.

A potted history of the bootleg/mash up scene, in musical form. Big download, but worth it.

Another show from bob, detailing in musical form his path to the world of classical music. “the key bt is the second tune turning into the third” - says bob.

This is ace. RZA talking about the kung fu samples he has used on some Wu-Tang tracks, as well as audio samples. Also a full interview with him talking about the films he’s scored and a bunch of other stuff.

“En garde, I’ll let you try my Wu-Tang style.“

Playing tunes with big sparky electrickery. COOL.

“This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.

“So just to explain a little further, yes, it is the actual high voltage sparks that are making the noise. Every cycle of the music is a burst of sparks at 41 KHz, triggered by digital circuitry at the end of a “long” piece of fiber optics.

What’s not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking. In the sections where the crowd is cheering and the coils is starting and stopping, you can hear the the crowd is drowned out by the coil when it’s firing.

This Tesla coil was built and is owned by Steve Ward. Steve is a EE student at U of I Urbana-Champaign. He and Jeff have been going to Teslathons, which is where they met.

It’s been suggested that a good name for this coil would be the “Zeusaphone”. “Thoremin” has also been mentioned, though personally I think we need Theramin type inputs for that.”
