The Austin, Texas-based group ArcAttack isn’t your typical band. They create music using electricity—how? Well, the guitar player’s dancing fingers control the music, but the notes of the music themselves come from bolts let loose by the twin towers on both sides of the stage.

According to Joe DiPrime, a founding member and usually the lightning guitarist of ArcAttack “I think that is the hardest thing to convey to people who don’t see it in person, the electrical arcs are vibrating the air and creating sound waves.”

These twin towers are giant Tesla coils, named after the Serbian-American who invented them in 1891, Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil as part of his experiment to generate and transmit electricity wirelessly.
